Special Positions

Special positions are recognized automatically by X-PLOR. In particular, the occupancy of a special position by an atom should not be scaled, since X-PLOR takes care of this automatically. In order for the program to recognize the special position, the atomic coordinate has to be exact. Note that covalent bonds to atoms at special positions are not possible at present.
