<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">My question should have
already be asked, I am sorry for that but I failed in searching
on the COD web site...</font><br>
</p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">COD can now be easily
used like ICDD PDF database inside the last version of the
search-match tools of each provider (like PANalytical, Rigaku or
Bruker).<br>
This way is probably the easiest one to use COD daily,
especially for our PhD students.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Unfortunately, it is
important to recognize that the reactivity of each of them is
not their strong point when it is time to "update" the COD.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> We need to wait for
their goodwill to have an updated version of the database... <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Get an update version
of the COD is possible, you clearly explain how to do. But each
manufacturer add its "special touch" ie: make (I suppose) its
own compilation in order that the COD could be readable via
HighScore, DIFFRAC.EVA, PDXL...<br>
I suppose this procedure is the same that when you have to
update ICDD database: you have to use the provider search-match
software to "compile" your new DVD with ICDD PDF4+ Database
(kind of "raw" data with their own ICDD format) into the right
format to be usable inside your search-match soft.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">My question is
therefore: would it be possible to compile ourselves the
database COD to finally have a base "up to date" without being
dependent on the choices of the manufacturer ? My question
involve that the COD "raw" format should be the same that the ICDD
"raw" one to be readable by the soft compiler.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thank you very much for
all your kind attention.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Best regards (and so
sorry for the bad English...)<br>
