Availability

FIT2D is available free of charge to academic research in return of an undertaking for appropriate acknowledgement of use of the program and the methods. Commercial users will be requested to pay a yearly support fee, which is presently 5000 Francs per year.

FIT2D executables for various machines and operating system types can be obtained by anonymous ftp from www.esrf.fr. DEC-ALPHA OSF1, DEC-MIPS Ultrix 4.4, HP-700 HP-UX V9, IBM RS6000 AIX 3.2.1, Silicon Graphics MIPS R4000 Irix 5.3, and SunOS V4 and V5 (Solaris) versions are presently available. (Silicon Graphics Irix 6.2 and Linux versions should soon be available.)

Users of FIT2D are required to sign a ``Conditions of use'' form and return it by mail, or initially by Fax. The ``Conditions of Use'' are intended to allow freedom of use for personal academic research provided suitable acknowledgement of the program and methods is given. The protection allows the usage of FIT2D to be monitored and means that users will be informed of improvements, important bug fixes, etc.
