Bob,

I finally had time to test the point groups in jmol.
I used a set of structures included in Patchkovskii's code. They are not
real molecules
and atoms are quite close so I had to decrease the tolerance. As a result of
that (I guess)
some of the structures "freeze" jmol.
I set up a web page where I tested that

http://144.92.39.89/xavier/symmetry/index.php

Would you mind to take a look at it?

Thanks a lot!!

This is the list of problems:

C4h says it is C4
C7 says it is C1
C7h says it is Cs
C7v says it is C1 (but finds all the planes)
C8h doesnt find all elements for C8h
Ci says it is C1
Cinfv doesnt find all elements for Cinfv
D2 doesnt draw the right elements (D4?)
D2d jmol freezes
D2h says it is D2d
D3 says it is C3
D3d jmol freezes
D3h doesnt find all elements for D3h
D4 says it is C4
D4d jmol freezes
D4h says it is C4v
D5 says it is C5
D5d jmol freezes
D5h says it is C5v
D6 says it is C6
D6h doesnt find all elements for D6h
D6d jmol freezes
D7 says it is C1
D7d says it is Ci
D7h says it is C2h
D8 says it is C8
D8d says it is C8v
D8h says it is C8v
Dinfh doesnt find all elements for Dinfh
Ih says it is D5d
