I believe having a whitespace in directory name is not a very smart idea under Unix. It may break many scripts. Nevertheless I adapted xcrysden script, and now it seems to be able to deal with it (at least it works on my computer). You may try it yourself. The script is attached to this email, you need to copy it to your $XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR. Regards, Tone -- Anton Kokalj J.
