Looking at the code again more carefully (always a good idea!) I realise
that I jumped too quickly to the wrong conclusion.  At worst the warning
message you got is merely alarmist and misleading!  All it's saying is that
the unit cells are different - not a surprise!  The cells used in the
calculation are correct.  What happens is that the cell for the 1st crystal
is stored in the COMMON block and that cell is used to calculate the OM for
the 1st MTZ file.  Then the 2nd crystal comes along and its cell is
compared with the one that was stored, triggering the warning message.
However that's all it does; the cell for the 2nd crystal is the one that is
used to calculate the OM for the 2nd MTZ file.

The message can be eliminated in the way I suggested by inserted a CALL
XYZINIT before the call to RBFRO1 in almn.f .

Cheers
