Has anyone applied the Addsym algorithm (reimplementation
of the Yvon LePage algorithm) from Platon to
the ICSD database in the same way Ton Spek tested out
a subset of the Cambridge database?

There is a page on the Platon site showing some of the
results on the Cambridge database.  Many possible
misassigned spaceg4roups could be found very
automatically.

for info on Addsym and Platon, check:
  http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/platon/addsym.htm

Includes link to:
  PLATON/ADDSYM analysis of all 1970 Cc structures 
  in the CSD (apr 1999).
