Carine file types

[Brian W Darvell]

A long time ago I bought the program Carine to prepare some teaching material.  There were always problems, but now that I have found Vesta (most impressive!), I should like to convert old files if possible.  I cannot see how I can do this.  Any suggestions?

The default structure file extension is .CRY, but it appears to be binary coded.  I can export a so-called *.ACR file for a crystal structure, which is plain text tab delimited file, e.g.:

===================
CaRIne Crystallography 3.0
Crystal Standard ASCII File= [...]\CaRIne Crystallography 3.1\Cell Standard ASCII File (ACE)\testcrystal.ACR
File Version Number=1

Colors Refered to: Mendeleïev Table

Likewise I can export an *.ACE file for a cell:


======================
CaRIne Crystallography 3.0
Cell Standard ASCII File=[...]\CARINEV3\ACE\CATIO3.ACE
File Version Number=1

Colors Refered to: RGB Components

Cell Parameters(Å and °)
a=3.84000    b=3.84000    c=3.84000
alpha=90.00    beta=90.00    gamma=90.00

System=CEL
Space Group Number=221
Only Non Equivalent Positions are listed
Number of positions in Cell=3

Atom    Oxi.    X    Y    Z    R(Å)    Occ.
Ca    2+    0    0    0    0.99    1.0000    65535    65535    65535
Ti    4+    1/2    1/2    1/2    0.68    1.0000    32896    65535    65535
O    2-    0    1/2    1/2    1.32    1.0000    65535    0    0

======================

Which is clearly a subset of the crystal file type.

Can I do anything with these in VESTA?
Is there an equivalent file type that I can rename to get past this?  I hope I do not have to recreate everything.

Thanks,
