PreQuest is a data-validation and data-conversion program which is used to create high-quality structural data files in CSD format from, e.g., raw input data from a CIF. PreQuest is used routinely by CCDC's scientific editors to create and validate entries for inclusion in the master CSD archive, hence the program is constantly being maintained and upgraded. The released version enables users to build a private CSD-format database of their own structures which can then be searched independently of, or in conjunction with, the master CSD files using the database access programs described below.
