Other notes

I cannot remember how the structures were renamed between the CrystalPredictor search (A1) and the CrystalOptimizer single step (B1). Attempting structure matching was not successful, finding only 24 matches among the first 167 structures (in CrystOpt_1, so had to have come from CrystPred and not changed very much). This was in 4 days. The paper does not have details.
