DBWS Tools for Windows 95/98/NT/XP/VISTA

DBWS Tools for Windows 95/98/NT is a graphical interface for DBWS, one of the most used programs for Rietveld refinements. DBWS Tools handles refinement jobs by compiling Input Control Files (ICF’s) for DBWS, running the program and showing the graphical results using the shareware program DMPlot, which plots diffraction patterns. DBWS Tools eliminates the need for DBWS User’s Manual every time an ICF is built, because the files are compiled in a window-based interface which shows all the meanings of each data field. Compiling ICFs the old way (usually by editing it in non-formatted text editors such as Notepad or Dos Edit) can be really confusing, besides the fact that errors regarding data placement in the fixed fields of the ICF result in problems when DBWS runs.
