A computer program for automatic point group determinations of given m
olecules has been developed. The geometry of the molecule may be defin
ed via absolute or internal (Z-matrix) coordinates. For correcting pur
poses and for demonstrations, the three-dimensional shape of the molec
ule may be displayed on screen in both outline and spacefill mode. Eve
n the point groups of distorted molecules may be determined. The exten
t of distortion is judged by an uncertainty parameter T. The software
called SYMAPPS 1.0 runs under DOS on IBM PC or compatible systems.
