I do not know exactly, what you are looking for. Some months ago I made a
first attempt to use a Basic program of Joerg Ihringer, Uni Tuebingen,
Germany, that shows the translations in a given crystallographic cell by
means of group theoretical restrictions, i.e. a certain translational mode
is applied to all positions in the unit-cell and the symmetry elements,
that will be broken when the mode "freezes", are indicated (at least, that
is what he could show me, when I saw the software in 1995).
Since Joerg Ihringer works on Atari and I am happy with my MAC, there are
two problems I face at the moment: An Emulator for Atari on Mac that does
all the Graphics of STBasic is hard to find; The Atari disk and file
formats are hardly readable by modern floppy drives / OSes.

Maybe this could be an answer to your question? Anyways - if there is
someone who knows about an STBasic-Interpreter for the MAC, I would be
happy if he/she could inform me.
