CMPR was written by Brian H. Toby when at the NIST Center for Neutron Research. CMPR is not subject to copyright. Small FORTRAN programs used in CMPR contain routines borrowed from lots of sources: The reflection generation code traces back to the NIST AIDS*83 (C. Hubbard, J. Stalick, A. Mighell & others), space group extinctions from NRC symmetry codes (A. C. Larson) and peak fitting uses GPLSFTA (D. Cox, W. Hamilton, L. Finger & many others).
