 The package is easy to install and use, even by the novice user. Extensive documentation is included and is accessible from within the program as on-line HELP and also as HTML documentation.  Care has been taken to support interfaces to other image processing packages, e.g. Macintosh applications via the TIFF, PNG and JPEG image formats, and other EM-targeted image processing packages such as Spider, Semper, PIC and the MRC package.  The basic package is command-line driven, but the user can choose to write sophisticated command scripts and use a menu-driven full-screen or MOTIF interface to call them. Foreground and background operation is supported. 

-Version: The current version of MDPP is  v17.210. Version numbers indicate the approximate date that the last significant changes or bug fixes were made to the program.  
+Version: The current version of MDPP is  v17.272. Version numbers indicate the approximate date that the last significant changes or bug fixes were made to the program.  

 Operating Systems: MDPP runs on UNIX-type systems such as macOS and Linux in a 64-bit environment.  OpenVMS is no longer supported.

 Required Installed Packages: MDPP is linked against four packages.  1) X11, 2) libpng, 3) libjpeg and 4) libfftw3f.  On a Mac the png, jpeg and fftw packages can be installed and kept up to date using "fink".  If you do not have 
 fink you can download it from the fink project download page. Installation is straightforward, but please read all instructions.  Generally, MDPP is linked against the most recent versions of these packages and this may require you have installed these versions too.  On Linux the chances are that the required packages are already available, but the same caviate holds.  Speak to the sysadmin who should have no problems providing the packages and their updates.
+
+There is an issue with "libpng".  If it is updated you may need to re-compile "png_io.c", add the object modue to "mdppo.a" and re-link.  This is becuase "libpng" uses the version header to determin whether the library is usable. Updates such as from 1.6.12 to 1.6.13 should not require a relink; from 1.5.4 to 1.6.0 will.

 Requirements: MDPP is a "Terminal Application"; it runs from the command-line in a terminal window. Hosts: macOS and Linux. (Obsolete: HP VAX, AXP and IA64 with OpenVMS). Displays: Any X-Windows/R6 Server  (Motif for full functionality under UNIX). On a Mac, start the X11 application and run MDPP from inside an xterm window for best results.  Compilers: FORTRAN V7.0 or later is required  for OpenVMS systems; Absoft v9.2 or later or Intel 10.1 or later for  Mac/Linux.

 Description:
 MDPP is a fully-featured general purpose image processing package originally written to support research in structural biology requiring electron microscopy and image processing.  It has focused on the analysis of images using Fourier techniques, particularly periodic images, but has extensive tools for other processing options (e.g. DNA sequencing, point-counting, image quantitation and display). Three-dimensional reconstruction methods are supported, including iterative deconvolution schemes for light micrographs.  Color images are supported with both color pallet and RGB options.
