Automatic searching of an asymmetric unit from the space-group symbol

G. Cascarano, C. Giacovazzo and R. Spagna

A program for the automatic definition of an asymmetric unit is described. Starting from the space-group symbol, an asymmetric unit is automatically calculated by means of a simple algorithm in the case of space groups up to the orthorhombic system. For higher symmetry a tabulation is used.
