Greetings, The proposed new extensions for the mmCIF dictionary were sent to COMCIFS on April 1, 1998. The summary of the results of that review are on the mmCIF list server in a message sent April 16 by Brian McMahon. We are now in the process of reviewing and incorporating these suggestions as well as others we have received. We expect to complete this process in early June at which time the version 2.0 of the mmCIF dictionary will be sent to COMCIFs for final review.
