CYCLOPS 2 is a major revision of the program CYCLOPS [Hall (1993). J. Appl. Cryst . 26 , 482–494] which is used, in conjunction with Crystallographic Information File (CIF) dictionaries, to validate names in an ASCII file. The validated files may contain CIF or non‐CIF data, text documents or a program source. CYCLOPS 2 is able to handle both DDL1 and DDL2 dictionaries, the longer mmCIF data names and can accommodate multiple dictionaries. This version is written using the CIFtbx 2 [Hall & Bernstein (1996). J. Appl. Cryst. 29 , 598–603] library of Fortran functions and is portable to a variety of platforms.
