The powder indexing method based on successive dichotomies is considered in terms of partition of volume space. With this strategy, the smaller and more probable solutions are found first. Two approaches are described; if density and molecular weight are introduced, the calculations are accelerated. Extension of the method to the monoclinic case is described, and can be useful for unit cells with not too large volumes. A program, DICVOL, has been written in Fortran which allows a search for systems down to monoclinic.
