A software package for reading a list of CIF data into user‐specified variable names in the DDL domain dictionary is described. The customized function generated by this process provides detailed error reporting and may be called from C or Fortran programs. The package is small, simple to install and fast. It runs on variants of the Unix operating system that have the following utilities available: Bison/Yacc, Flex, Perl and C.
