  "description": "Rietica is a Rietveld structure refinement program currently running under Windows 7/8/10 (64 bit). It functions as a Windows front-end to the FORTRAN 77/90 program known as LHPM, which is available for various operating systems. Rietica simplifies the creation of input files for LHPM and controls the refinement process. It aims to be accessible for beginners (though requiring Rietveld analysis knowledge) while offering advanced users features like a BASIC-based macro language for scripting complex procedures and integrating other programs.",
