No subject

(for the primitives, ignoring ky for simplicity)
0 < g1 < 1 ; 0 < g3 < 1, with g1, g3 the primitive vectors. However, this
is not the irreproducible part of the BZ, which should be:
0 < g1 < 1 ; -g1 < g3 < g1
unless I'm being stupid (possible).

N.B., after the line "NUMBER OF POINT GROUP OPERATION" something looks
fishy, since I'm getting:
    SYMMETRY MATRIX NR.  1   SYMMETRY MATRIX NR.  2

I definitely agree that eg. the symmetry operations are taken from case.struct, and not from the symmetry dedicated routines in kgen.  However, I thought that the reciprocal unit cell (which is to be sampled by a uniform mesh and then reduced by symmetry) is calculated by some of the old routines, and these indeed reduce some systems to primitive cells, don't they?

It is fed into bravai.f, which redefines the basis as a * (1/2, 1/2, 0) etc.  THis is in the variable rbas, which is later used (in main and in arbmsh) by the routine gbas to calculate the reciprocal basis.  This basis defines the reciprocal cell which will be sampled by basdiv, zuord ...
