Dear Teo,
       Thank you very much for your reply!
       I do not very understand that, if the numbers of the forth
column to the sixth cloumn can be ignored, why all the examples in
'regtest-sym' file folder have six columns in their &COORD section. I
do not mean to be bulky on this problem, I just feel that there may be
some reIations between the numbers in &CELL section, and the numbers
in the first three columns and the second three columns in &COORD
section. I copy the updated example again from the "regtest-sym/
c_24_hcpA3.inp" in cp2k install pakage here:

 &SUBSYS
    &CELL
#Mg & P6_3/mmc-D_{6h}^4 #194 & hP2 & A3 & Ashcroft and Mermin, 77
     A   1.60500000 -2.77994155  0.00000000
     B   1.60500000  2.77994155  0.00000000
     C   0.00000000  0.00000000  5.21000000
    &END CELL
    &COORD
 SCALED
Mg  0.33333333  0.66666667  0.25000000     1.60500000  0.92664718
1.30250000
Mg  0.66666667  0.33333333  0.75000000     1.60500000 -0.92664718
3.90750000
    &END COORD
    &PRINT
      &SYMMETRY
       CHECK_SYMMETRY 6/mmm
      &END
    &END
    &TOPOLOGY
      CONNECTIVITY OFF
    &END
  &END SUBSYS

     I guess the second three cloumns in &COORD section should have
some effect on the calculation result. Looking forward to your reply!
     Thank you very much for your time!

     Sincerely,
     Fujun(XXX)
