MINCRYST is an original interrelated combination of the Crystal Structure D
atabase for Minerals, Subbase of Calculated Polycrystal Standards (Calculat
ed Powder X-ray Diffraction Standard Subbase, CPDS Subbase), and the Applie

omprises about 4800 files. Two MINCRYST versions are developed-the local (L

a personal computer and the WWW version with an original interface integrat
ed into the WWW server of the Institute of Experimental Mineralogy of the R
ussian Academy of Sciences (Chernogolovka) accessible to all the Internet u
