MRIA - a program for a full profile analysis of multiphase powder neutron diffraction was originally designed as the only peak shape independent and fast fit routine which made it indispensible for treating the time-of-flight RTOF (reversed time-of-flight) spectra[1]. However, the area of applications of RTOF methods being growing gradually new features were added to MRIA which widely extended the class of problems being solved by this program.
The report goes over these new features in more detail.
