XMPA/ZORTEP XPMA is a mouse driven menu based graphical program for the manipulation of small structures (max 1999 atoms). It allows the searching and generating symmetry equivalent parts of fragments, gives bond lengths, angles, torsion angles. It can make orthogonal co-ordinates and save orientation and thermal parameters for ZORTEP. New atom names can be created, as well as deleting atoms and electron density places and is an easy to use graphics editor after refinement and/or Fourier synthesis. Zortep is the second part of this duo being mouse driven menu based graphical ORTEP program. This allows the 'real-time' graphical rotation and manipulation of structures and/or thermal ellipsoids on the screen. This has been rewritten from old ORTEP source code and has been made user-friendly by the inclusion of a mouse-drivable menu interface. Thus there is no longer any need to know how to input the old style ORTEP cards. ZORTEP can also read SHELX format fractional coordinates and import XPMA files up to 999 atoms. It is possible to get a stereoscopic (read-green) view in both programs on the screen. They can be rotated and translated.
