Dear sir,
Thank you for providing the previous mail links having nice explanations. I
have found that the Fortran script "findMINcboa" for calculation of c/a
ratio has typographical error where volume is typed as ai*ai*ci instead of
ai*bi*ci.
I have another query: For Monoclinic structure I am facing a problem during
initialization.

----Here the lattice parameters are changed in cyclic order but atomic
positions are not. Should I have to accept the "Use struct-file generated
by sgroup?" or not.
I have read the previous answer of Peter sir,
https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg11595.html
. I saw that it has "SPACE GROUP CONTAINS INVERSION" and I have to change
beta to gamma also. What should I do to get the correct atomic position
also??
