Program Standard_affine_form
Usage
Standard_affine_form 'file1' 'file2' [-t]
file1: bravais_TYP containing a space group G.
file2: matrix_TYP contatining a presentation of the point group of G.
Description
Transforms the space group with generators in file1 into standard
form, ie. the translation lattice is transformed to Zn.
In case the translation subgroup has dimension smaller than n, i.
e. the group is not an n-dimensional space group, the program
will indicate an error, gives the rank, and exit.
Options
-t : The transforming matrix will be given as well.
Remarks
This program is a synonym for Extract -t.

Examples
- Do given matrices generate a space group? If so, find
its name and normal representation.
