5.3.7.1.2.6. zincNl

| top | pdf |

zincNl is a Perl script that takes a ZINC file and creates a Fortran-compatible namelist file allowing for easy access to any CIF by Fortran programs without the need for extensive I/O libraries or reprogramming. As with zb above, it will automatically convert a CIF to a ZINC-format file if it needs to.

For a more substantial tool providing CIF input functions in Fortran and C, see the discussion below of CifSieve (Section 5.3.7.2[link]).
