CCL: my question of yesterday: fractional coordinates to cartesian

 Hi all,
 Yesterday,  I posted a question about converting fractional coordinates to
 cartesian coordinates.  A number of you responded and helped me at least to
 understand crystal structures a little bit better :)
 I learned that OpenBabel SHOULD do this, but it won't, at least not for me, not
 on any of the machines that I have access to (two pc's here and one at home).
 Even version 2.1.1 doesn't convert my .fract file to an xyz file.
 I would like to be able to do this myself (without having to rely on someone
 else to convert the .fract files I've created), but I'm at my wit's end.  I've
 even tried a program called converte, but that doesn't work, either.
 I'd really appreciate a suggestion to a program that will work for me.
 TIA,
 Richard
