Dear netters:

  It is a pleasure to announce that version 3.1.1 of the NMR processing program 
SwaN-MR is available, as two compressed-self-expanding files, (via anonymous 
ftp) from :

sfdzuma.usc.es (193.144.75.69)
directory /pub/NMR/SwaN-MR.311
 This version is a beta release and users are encouraged to test it and submit 
the bugs they find to the author.
SwaN-MR is a FREEWARE program for the Macintosh and PowerMac. It processes and 
analyzes NMR spectra (1D to 4D, from Varian Gemini, Bruker nad TecMag 
spectrometers). It is also very useful in annotating, printing and presenting 
spectra. The program has been written by:

Dr. Giuseppe Balacco
MENARINI s.r.l.
Via Sette Santi, 3
I-50131 Firenze
ITALY

In order to use SwaN-MR you need to write a SIGNED LETTER (no fax or e-mail 
messages) to Dr. Balacco requesting a LICENSE.

  If you want to check out the program before asking for the license you can try
Snail-MR (included in the demo file). It does everything that SwaN-MR does but 
much more slowly.

Newest features:
	- A converter for Nicolet spectra has been added
	- A module for spectral simulation (up to 9 nuclei) and fitting 	to 
experimental data has been added

The program's capabilities include:
Weighting (9 different window functions)
FFT (real, complex, hypercompex, etcI)
Phase Correction (1 manual and 2 automatic options)
Magnitude representation
Baseline Correction (6 options, including 5th degree polynomials and 
trigonometric series)
BasePlane correction
Integration (manual and automatic)
Least Squares Fitting (to Lorentzian or Gaussian functions)
Quanto-mechanical simulations
Fast Linear Prediction
Digital Solvent Suppression
T1 calculation (inversion recovery)
Spectral Editing (algebraic addition and much more)
Symmetrization

  I hope that you will enjoy the program.
