RE: CCP4 on Windows

Dear All,

Following the recent success of ccp4nt4_1_1b I received lots of feedback
and some quite serious problems came to light (especially on Windows 98
variants). Many of these problems have now been solved (see below) and so
I've made another release - ccp4nt4_1_1c.

As a result of CCP4nt being made more public I've also received more help
on the programs - and now Alain Dautant has been able to get most of the
Xwindows programs that are distributed with ccp4 to work.

the CCP4nt page has also been updated:

Thanks once again to all
Alun

=======================================

 Programs
 ========
  All the programs have been compiled in debug mode. This
    ensures that a lot of information is outputed if the
    program fails. but it also makes the .exe bigger. This
    policy may change for later releases....

 Install
 =======
  Doesnt matter what folder name you give for the start menu
    during the installation it always puts it into ccp4nt4.1.1b!
    Installation knows best ;)
