  1. I have found your guide useful however, the DipStych software you recommend seems to be defunct. Do you have any other recommendations?

  2. Hey there anonymous, what makes you say that? I don't see any indication of that. You can download it here: https://sites.google.com/site/danielsaunders/dipstych
    If you're using a Mac, there are several options as well... search for 'diptcyh' in the App Store.
