I am experimenting with ALMN cross-rotation using some old known structures. I was surprised to see what seems to be a requirement for the cell dimensions of the two crystals to be the same. Is that the case? Excerpts from the log follow. eab

Am I doing something wrong? The two files are specified as HKLIN and HKLIN2
