How to obtain ANSIG v3.3

ANSIG is not public domain software. It has been copyrighted by the author Per Kraulis, and may not be copied freely.

However, scientists in academic institutions may retrieve the ANSIG program provided that the academic license is printed, read, signed and returned to Per Kraulis. A simple text file containing the license is located in the ansig/lic directory.

There is no fee for academic institutions.

Companies and other for-profit organizations may not download ANSIG directly from this site. They should contact Per Kraulis for further information.

If you have signed and mailed the license, you may obtain the source code, documentation and a minimal example file set by anonymous FTP (through your HTML viewer or otherwise). There are two FTP sites, containing the same files:

The distribution files are tar files (written by the UNIX tar utility), and come in two flavours:

  1. *.tar.Z, a compressed tar file, using the UNIX system utility compress.
  2. *.tar.gz, a compressed tar file, using the GNU free utility program gzip.
All files are binary (unformatted), so use the FTP 'binary' mode for transfer.
Source code, library files and documentation in HTML format. Follow these instructions in order to install the ANSIG program from the distribution files.

Crosspeak, setup and spd files for the pgc2 example:

The spectrum matrix files and contour file for the pgc2 example must be downloaded on by one. They are rather large, and you may want to choose carefully which ones you want to download.

Crosspeak, setup and spd files for the ras example:

The contour files for the ras example must be downloaded one by one. They are rather large, and you may want to choose carefully which ones you want to download.
