From a MEMO (Friday, Jun 20, 1997):

To my knowledge, it does not exist in the world a general program of Surface Crystallography that allows to analyse problems which are found in experiments that are done these days at the ESRF and other facilities. The most generally used program (at least in Europe) is named ROD and has been written by E. Vlieg (one of the responsibles of the DUBBLE CRG beamline) and implemented by a number of other people. This program is the one used in ID3.

However, due to the fact that the present available version consists in a superposition of parts without a clear structural organization inside the program, ROD is not a friendly program for a non specialised user. Due to this, a number of experiments in surface crystallography done in ID3 have not been succesfully analysed either because ROD has not the necessary options or because the user gets confused in the operation of the program...
