Howdy everyone,
Concerning the data storage formats, Brian Toby wrote that (some time ago)
am not sure that I would use CIF as my internal format, if I were to
create a database, since it is not designed for searching, but I would
certainly want the ability to both import and export data to/from CIF.
As I recall, someone maintains an in-house database of single crystal work
that is stored in CIF, using a public domain database search software, and on Linux.
The someone may have been Paul Boyle at North Carolina State, if my memory serves, but
this query of my internal database is attempting to access stuff at least a couple
years old.
