cif2cif
Description
cif2cif (Bernstein, 1998) is a CIF manipulation program that can copy a CIF while checking data names against dictionaries, optionally reformatting numbers to maintain standard uncertainties within a specified range. The output CIF may contain a subset of the data in the original CIF according to a request list, in the manner of QUASAR.

Installation: The application requires CIFtbx. It is provided as part of the standard distribution of CIFtbx and may already have been installed when the library was installed. If not, copy the selected archive (cif2cif.cshar.Z or cif2cif.shar.Z - only one is required) into the parent directory of the ciftbx.src directory that stores the CIFtbx source files. In this directory, uncompress the selected archive and execute it with the C or Bourne shell as appropriate. Unpacking the archive creates a source directory; change to this and make the library.
cp cif2cif.shar.Z /x/y/base
cd /x/y/base
uncompress cif2cif.shar.Z
sh cif2cif.shar.Z
cd cif2cif.src
