Daniele,

we do write the full cell information. I suspect that the format we  
employ is not correct.
If you will provide the correct format for the DCD with the cell  
information I will be extremely
happy to fix it.

At the moment we write the full lower diagonal part of the cell  
matrix (hmat).
cheers
Teo
