Dear John,
	I've been looking at the tools etc, but I wanted to
know if there is particular tool, kind of a turn key tool,
which would allow me to check directly if a file were
compatible with the mmCIF dictionary and ddl.  Specifically
something like

	'CIFCHECK  file_in'

and the output would be a series of diagnostics to let me
know if the file was OK or not.  It would be particularly
nice if this could run locally given the mmCIF dictionary
and ddl.
	Looking forward to hearing form you.
	Best regards,
	Joel
