[sdpd] STX:RIET: Updates to the LMGP Suite for Windows by Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu

[Lachlan Cranswick <L.M.D.Cranswick...@dl.ac.uk>]

(Besides the usual minor releases described at the LMGP Suite
whatsnew page (CHEKCELL powder indexing help tool and CELREF 
unit cell refinement software bugfixes) located at:
   http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/lmgp/lmgpwhatsnew.htm  )

Updates in the LMGP suite software by Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu
include:

GRETEP for Windows:
  (Grenoble Thermal Ellipsoids Plot Program)

  Can now add "Metal - Ring" bonds, including the customization of
   bond diameter and bond colour
    Example runthrough on the web:
     http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/lmgp/gretep_metal_ring_bond.html

  Besides customizable "atom labels", GRETEP can now create custom 
   "Bond labels / bond text-labels" - either horizontal or oblique 
    bond labels - with the default (changeable) "bond label" being 
    the "bond length".
    Example runthrough on the web:

New LMGP Suite Program:
"Getspgr" for Windows (Get Spacegroup):
  converting Symmetry Operators into a Spacegroup Symbol / 
  Spacegroup Number
  (mainly an outcome of making the GRETEP Shelx INS file 
   importation more robust in recognising spacegroups) 
   Getspgr will also take Shelx style symmetry operator input.

  Operators to Spacegroup Symbols / Spacegroup numbers
