NEW: XOP in a CD-ROM
   

Licensing information


The XOP software is built using an embedded license of IDL from RSI (Research Systems Inc.) (http://www.rsinc.com) under the conditions of the "XOP embedded software license agreement" signed by RSI, ESRF and APS. This implies that the user is allowed to run the XOP software but not to separate, modify or transform in any way parts of the IDL software included in XOP. Additional information can be obtained by srio@esrf.fr

See the file README_COPYRIGHT.TXT in the main XOP directory after installation.

   

Registration

You can use XOP without registration. However we encorage you to register because of two important reasons.

  1. It allows us to contact the users for informing on new releases and important bugs.
  2. It allows us to know to know the number of users and its distribution around the world. This is important to help us to demostrate to our bosses how useful is XOP and to obtain more support to guarantee the continuity of the XOP project
On-line registration
