Dear Larry,
I can only say: do not worry. There is a lot of very good
crystallographers who are also very good programers among the young
generation. The evolution will not stop!
Best regards
Radovan, crystallographer from a middle-age generation

I am going to give up my 'lurker' status on this mailing list to switch
this thread to a more philosophical vein.
In the past generation, many good crystallographers have also been good
programmers. I suspect it was easier to learn programming than it was to
teach crystallography to a program

You really do need a basic understanding of what you are doing with R
The
best way is to check generated symmetry operations with International tables for
crystallography or on-line using, for example, Bilbao server: http://www.cryst.ehu.es/cryst/get_gen.html which
has all conventional and non-conventional settings and much
more.

Thank you Peter and Allen. I see that this indeed does make a
difference. Can you tell me how I check the space group to ensure
that it is correct? As I am not a crystallographer, and have very
limited experience with space group terminology, is there a good resource
to confirm that I have en
