Mineralogical PC-Software

[always under construction, please help us with links to mineralogical software]

We will put only links here to (free) software we like... and/or to software that is still maintained for W2K/XP-Pro/Linux.
not the old DOS-software that you can find everywhere else... Access based databases can be fine for home-use...
If your software is not listed here, please contact us, we might not be aware it exists at all ;-)
and... we will put the software also on our webserver if that's ok with you, to keep it available when the original download location disappears...
