Sorry for the trouble. I know that many CIF files do work, but also that
CIF is not the most uniform of specs ;).

It's usually just a difference in some of the tags used, and so often not
too hard to fix the code to be able to read these, but I have also seen
some CIF files that are just not really describing a crystal structure.

Can you send a couple of examples of CIF files that don't work?  You can
send them to me by direct email if you like.
