I am trying to get started with design of X-ray optics. So, I am trying to get myself comfortable with PARROT software, which was suggested. So may I know where to get it and how to start working it.
PARROT is best for reflectivity analysis. If you want a good program for optics ray tracing I would suggest SHADOW

Dear Lawrence Margulies,
Thank you for your response. I am working with Shadow. But for some special requirement I am trying to look for Parrot. As u mentioned I need to do reflectivity analysis of Multi layer coating. This can also be one in Shadow but I am seeing for Parrot as an alternative.
If you are doing reflectivity analysis then this is a great tool (it is the same as Parrot but updated):
