OK, I've had a little lesson just now in supercells. (Thank you, Stephen
Todd!)
I think the command is going to be:
load "myfile.xxx" {2 2 2} supercell "2x, x+y, z"
Now, that will load 8 SUPERCELLS, each which will be constructed based on
the defined unit cell of the file. (An added UNITCELL parameter would let
you set that as well.)
--The cell parameters will be changed
--The symmetry will be set to P1.
--The same "packed" and other load options will apply here, but to the
supercell instead of the unit cell itself.
Is it safe to say that the numbers there have to be positive integers? I.E.
not "-2x, x-y, -z" ?
