<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been atempting to convert a ".cif" file with
StructGen. However, I obtain the error below:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>First symmetry operation in
_symmetry_equiv_pos_as_xyz should be unity<BR>>x-y, -y, -z+1/2
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I notice that in other structure files the symmetry
operations are in the form of rotation matrices. But, "cif" files use the
xyz format. Does StructGen convert the xyz form to rotation
matrices?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know what may be wrong with my cif
file?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks</FONT></DIV>
