CBFlib

Description

CBFlib is a library of ANSI-C functions providing a simple mechanism for accessing Crystallographic Binary Files (CBF files) and Image-supporting CIF (imgCIF) files. The CBFlib API is loosely based on the CIFPARSE API for mmCIF files. Like CIFPARSE, CBFlib does not perform any semantic integrity checks and simply provides functions to create, read, modify and write CBF binary data files and imgCIF ASCII data files.

Documentation

Installation: Copy the compressed tar file CBFlib-0.7.4.tar.Z into an empty directory; uncompress and extract files using the Unix tar utility. Then use the make utility to build the application:
```
   cp CBFlib-0.7.4.tar.Z /x/y/z; cd /x/y/z
   uncompress CBFlib-0.7.4.tar.Z
   tar xvf CBFlib-0.7.4.tar
   make 
```
If compress or tar are unavailable, individual source files may be saved to the build directory.
