Dear Yun Song,

I'm sorry but that does not seem to right.
If H is the cell description in Cartesian coordinates, meaning H = 
CELL_PARAMETERS * alat, we have :

    V1(1) = H(1,1)
    V1(2) = H(2,1)
    V1(3) = H(3,1)

    V2(1) = H(1,2)
    V2(2) = H(2,2)
    V2(3) = H(3,2)

    V3(1) = H(1,3)
    V3(2) = H(2,3)
    V3(3) = H(3,3)

    a = sqrt(dot_product(V1,V1))
    b = sqrt(dot_product(V2,V2))
    c = sqrt(dot_product(V3,V3))

    alpha = acos( dot_product(V2,V3) / ( b * c ) ) /  RAD
    beta  = acos( dot_product(V1,V3) / ( c * a ) ) /  RAD
    gamma = acos( dot_product(V1,V2) / ( a * b ) ) /  RAD

Best,

                            Éric.
