What are you entering for the fortran format section and how many lines are
you skipping? Helps to know what you have tried and how. May also help to
attach your CNS cv header and first two-three reflections instead of
cut-pasting into the e-mail body since the formating, spacing tends to get
changed. Looks like you would use the following fortran format, does this
match what you have used?
'(6X,3F5.0,6X,F10.3,17X,F10.3,6X,F10.0)'
Number of lines to skip = 5
I've been converting files like crazy the last couple of days, I ran into the
"cannot read first reflection message" when the format was not set correctly.
