CIF applications. I. QUASAR: For extracting data from a CIF

Abstract

The program QUASAR performs two basic functions. It extracts specific data items from an input CIF and places them into an output CIF format and it tests the input CIF for logical integrity (i.e. that the file conforms to the STAR File syntax). QUASAR is written in Fortran77 and has been implemented on a wide range of computers. It is available as public-domain software.
