Bob,

this is a very nice tool!
I still don't see the solution to the problem that Jonathan pointed out,
I still get D3d for his BF3.PDB with version 11.6.RC1, is there any other
version?
I know you are still debugging, so I thought it might be useful to report
what seems to me some discrepancies between the symmetry computed by jmol
and the one computed by Patchovskii's code. In some cases jmol is better!
Here's a list of the molecules in which jmol failed to identify the symmetry
point group.
It seems that it doesn't find some planes.
