I could see doing it by including the z axis as an additional degree of
freedom in the rms fit. Of course, this still will result in structures
being "in-between" best-fit and z-axis-aligned...

Well, the reference structure will be aligned along Z, so all the other
structures should at least be somewhat aligned along Z (unless the
structure changes drastically from the reference). But you are right, the
structures will not be perfectly aligned to the Z axis.

That's my fault - you need a second 'run' command at the bottom of the
original input. Then everything should complete in one session. Let me know
if that doesn't work.
