Hi, 
 
When trying to optimize a molecule with C3 symmetry with the TCE module I got the message "non-abelian symmetry not permitted". This is incorrect I believe, unless there is another reason beside commutativity C3 symmetry doesn't work with TCE. 
 
I modified "src/symmetry/sym_abelian.F" to get it to run and this seems to work without problems. 
 
FROM 
13       parameter (nab = 8) 
14       character*4 ab(nab) 
15       data ab/ 'C1','Cs','Ci','C2', 'D2','C2v','C2h','D2h'/

However there should many more abelian symmetry groups in this list of course. 
 
Can these safely be added or is there another reason to exclude them? 
 
Thanks. 
 
Best,
