Each of these collections/libraries is organized in slightly different
manners. Please take a moment to read this summary it will save you much
time and allow the maxmium number of users to make use of the facilities
provided. You will not be able to copy the contents of the all the
libraries in any single session session. The current software collection
is in excess of 400 Mbytes and thus you should be selective. Take a few
minutes of time to think about your selections before starting.

**File Types**

By their nature the files in these libraries have a variety of data
types and formats, in addition, the files are also come from a variety
of different computers and operating systems. Here is a quick summary of
the major types of files which you may encounter. Some files are
compressed, and decompression routines can also be found on this disk in
the utilities subdirectory/folder for the respective platforms (Mac, PC,
DEC, \...\...).

Each file will have a distinct name, however, some files have names
followed by a period (•) then an addtitional 3 character extension.These
extensions generally refer to special characteristics of the file and
the table below summarizes the major file types which you will find on
this disk. Binary files are usually specific to an application. ASCII
files are files which contain ASCII characters (i.e. printing
characters) , however, they may not necessarily be TEXT which you can
read. This is due to the fact that some systems convert binary files
into ASCII for transmission over networks.

**EMMPDL**

The EMMPDL is organized by topic. Each contribution in the library has a
Abstract (.ABS), Source Code (.SRC) and Documentation (.DOC) file. All
three files are also merged into into a single file called Total
(.TOTAL). The abstract file summarizes each contribution, listing the
authors name, the purpose of the code, which computer system it was
designed to operate upon the and general requirements for making the
code operational. Generally, all the code in this library will need to
be recompiled to run on a given computer and thus you will need to
insure you have access to the appropriate compiler as documented in the
file instructions. Some of the code in this library includes compiled
and executables(.SAV, or .EXE). The files are organized according to the
general areas of Microscopy, Diffraction, and Microanalysis using their
most general abbreviations (CTEM, XEDS, EELS\...\.....)The Figure below
summarizes the topics. All the abstracts are summarized in a single file
called EMMPDL Abstracts, which is contained in the Info Dir/Folder.

**MASLIB**

The MASLIB is organized by program name. Most contributions in this
library have abstracts (.ABS) nearly all contain executable versions
(.EXE)of the contributions, virtually none have source code. The Figure
below summarizes the MASLIB contents. All the abstracts are summarized
in a single file called MASLIB Abstracts, which is contained in the Info
Dir/Folder.

**ANL/NJZ Freeware/Shareware Library**

**( Mac\'s & PC\'s)**

This collection of software is organized by topic and computer platform
(MacIntosh or PC). Some of the code is related to imaging, microscopy
and/or microanalysis and represents either demonstration or executable
code which has not been officially contributed to either the EMMPDL or
MASLIB. The balance of the programs are generally useful programs that I
have found for PC\'s and Mac\'s. These include programs which deal with
communications, compression, databases, editors, graphics, and general
utilities. While this code is organized by topic there is NO listing of
the programs, nor are there any abstracts, or source code. Some programs
do include documentations files.

**General Information Dir/Folder**

![](media/image8.pct){width="4.319444444444445in"
height="3.3333333333333335in"}

This folder contains information on how to access the EMMPDL, ANL/MSA
BBS, the Microscopy Listserver as well as a complete abstract summary of
all files in the EMMPDL, and MASLIB. Identical Information is contained
within all 3 Folders, however, it is formated for the respective
platforms. The default word processor used in all these files is
MicroSoft Word. The Text files are simple ASCII text will all attributes
stripped off.

The contents fo the General Information files are shown below.

**FTP**

An Anonymous FTP site is now operational at ANL all the software in this
library will be available using standard file transfer protocols.

**Host: WWW.AMC.ANL.GOV**

**User: Anonymous**

**Pass: Your Email Address**

**WWW**

A World Wide Web (WWW) site is now operational at ANL all the software
in this library will be available using standard file transfer
protocols.

**Host: WWW.AMC.ANL.GOV**

**User: Anonymous**

**Pass: Your Email Address**

**Recommended Procedure**

**for Accessing these Libraries**

1.) Scan the posted abstract lists for the EMMPDL and MASLIB to see if
specific

software you want is available.

2.) Choose the computer platform whose Disk Drive contains the file you
wish to

copy. Please check for information posted by the Workshop organizers for
specific

details which may apply to the how the files are loaded on the

computers at this workshop. EMMPDL, and MASLIB files should be on all
computers.

Freeware/Shareware files will be found on thier repective platforms

or on the original CDROM disk which was send to ICEM.

3.) Insert a floppy disk into the appropriate drive of the computer and
copy

the desired files.

4.) Remember everyone should copy the all General information files
which can be found in the Info/Dir Folder.
