HKL-2000 is available on the Linux processing computers. The program was written by Dr. Zbyszek Otwinowski (Southwestern Medical Center, University of Texas) and Dr.Wladek Minor (University of Virginia).

The HKL package development is supported by the NIH grant GM-53163 to the laboratories of Prof. Zbyszek Otwinowski (Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas) and Prof. Wladek Minor (University of Virginia). The HKL program package available at the BIOCARS beamlines at APS is provided on the basis of scientific collaboration free of any charges by the program authors. The synchrotron versions are time stamped and are usually upgraded every 3-6 months.
