Hi everyone!

I have a problem when I use mlphare

Sure you do have a problem: you actually do use mlphare !

... with no intension to offend Eleanor's favorite program,
mlphare was a step forward in phasing, but about 20 years ago.

SHARP really put M(S)IR(AS) phasing in a new dimension, and SOLVE
and CNS definitely kept in pace. Lately, phaser and bp3 do an excellent job in SAD phasing.

Although all programs have strengths and weaknesses, ten years on the road and (auto)SHARP does not stop to amaze me. the latest example being a couple of weeks ago when all else had failed, and embarrassingly enough a friend pushed me back to SHARP.
(this will cost me dearly next time in the pub I am afraid)

I would likely not have bothered to comment on using SHARP instead of SOLVE or CNS, since much is up to taste and personal experience (... or in other words I personally still prefer SHARP ...) but I am sorry to say that I find playing with mlphare for a MIRAS case to be a waste of time. SHARP would always produce a better map and its so much more flexible to describe your experiment properly ...

PS1 SHARP is free for academic users and despite older testimonials easy to install these days.
