Does any one have a program that will take a CIF file produced by Magic which has calls to symbols not previously defined, (presumably due to the corner stitching data structure of Magic files), and turns the Magic CIF file into a "standard" CIF file where the symbols are defined before they are called. We have a working cif plot program to drive a colour versatec and don't want to rewrite it or reinvent the wheel if the solution already exists. Tom Buckley Computer Studies Dept.

If I remember correctly, the "cifplot" program from Berkeley has an option to write out a "clean" CIF file which among other things has everything defined before called. This program has been widely distributed, including sources, for over 5 years. It's even possible that your own CIF plot program is based on this code, and still has that option.
