Hi all,
  we encountered an odd behaviour of REINDEX.

Snip form logfile:

 Data line--- reindex HKL (h+l)/2, -k, (h-l)/2
 Data line--- end

  Reflections will be reindexed, and unit cell recalculated

 Reindexing transformation:
       (h' k' l') =  ( h  k  l ) (  1.00000  0.00000  1.00000 )
                                 (  0.00000 -1.00000  0.00000 )
                                 (  0.50000  0.00000 -0.50000 )

Obviously, the first line of the matrix is not what we intended to
create.

inputting the transformation as HKL h/2+l/2, -k, h/2-l/2
produces the desired result:

 Data line--- reindex HKL h/2+l/2, -k, h/2-l/2
 Data line--- end

  Reflections will be reindexed, and unit cell recalculated

 Reindexing transformation:
       (h' k' l') =  ( h  k  l ) (  0.50000  0.00000  0.50000 )
                                 (  0.00000 -1.00000  0.00000 )
                                 (  0.50000  0.00000 -0.50000 )



Admittedly, the documentation does not use any brackets in the examples,
but i would expect REINDEX either to throw an error or treat (h+l)/2
like (h-l)/2 but not treat them in the way encountered.

Cheers,

Jens
