A computer program has been written for the determination of crystal-size distribution in a direction perpendicular to an ( hkl ) crystal plane, from a digitized XRD peak. It implements an information theory approach devised by Guérin, Alvarez, Rebollo Neira, Plastino & Bonetto [ Acta Cryst. (1986), A 42 , 30–35] and Alvarez, Bonetto, Guérin, Plastino & Rebollo Neira [ Powder Diffr. (1987), 2 , 220–224]. The program has a fully automated operation mode and owing to the very restricted amount of input data this program is specially suited to users with a limited knowledge of crystal-size-determination methods.
