10.9.54 adds the capability to use space group information with 
Cartesian coordinate files. Right now, just PDB, but there is no longer 
any reason it couldn't also be done with XYZ files and, perhaps, a data 
statement.

So Glenn, if you can write those files in PDB format, you can do what 
you want today. Just be sure you include the

CRYST1

line in the proper format ahead of the ATOM lines. This should be all 
you need, along with regular Cartesian coordinates, because then when 
you load the file using

load "myfile.pdb" {2 2 1}

it will have the information it needs to apply the specified symmetry 
(probably P 1 in your case).
