IUCRVAL - Validation of CIF's



IUCRVAL is a program for validation of (small molecule but not MM) CIF's using the algorithms published in the IUCr document IUCr Validation Procedures. These are the part of the criteria for publication in Acta Cryst C. Other journal are less stringent, but this checking procedure is very useful in all cases. Almost all the checks indicated in the above IUCr document are implemented in IUCRVAL, and users should refer to this document for the exact meaning of each test. The validity of each data name may also be checked against CIF_CORE.DIC. the current CIF dictionary for small molecules. The program is also incorporated into the WinGX program system.

The program IUCRVAL is supplied as the source-code and as pre-compiled executables for Windows and several UNIX platforms. It is written in standard Fortran77. For further information and installation instructions, see the README file.

IUCRVAL is provided free of charge for academic, scientific, educational and non-commercial users only, provided its use is acknowledged.

IMPORTANT NOTE : This stand-alone version is an unsupported archive version which is frozen in its current state. The WinGX version is the only one which will be updated from now on.
