Dear colleagues,

I apologize for a basic question.

Could  anybody advice a freeware which would convert Cartesian
coordinates  (ideally,  from  a simple xyz list) into crystal ones, using 
user-supplied lattice basis vectors?

It    is    clear    that   formulae  are  simple  and   available  in
textbooks,  but  it  is  also easy to make mistakes in non-orthogonal
case, and I want to check myself (my code).

Or maybe Fortran/C/whatever code (would be even better)?

Sincerely,
Maxim.

This is not so simple as the reverse procedure (crystal to orthogonal), as you will need to know not only the method used to orthogonalise the coordinates in the first place but the shift needed to relate your coordinates to the origin of the unit cell.
