You can easily recover a, b, c and angles with pen, paper and eventually 
a pocket calculator. Please check this reference manual:

wyckoff positions remain the same before and after relax. If the 
position includes one or more free parameters, they will probably 
change, but they are very straightforward to recover from the atomic 
positions.
