This section contains the descriptions of programs in the Xtal System. These were prepared by the program authors who are listed at the head of each program. If you experience difficulties with a program, or require further information, you could, as a last resort, attempt to contact the author indicated for this purpose. However, since the source code is available and it is so well documented, that should be your first resource.
