Hi Francois, As I understand this, they (the F's) should be already on an "absolute" scale as determined by the Wilson stats as TRUNCATE does this scaling. What SCALEIT does is to scale the data sets together in terms of an overall (or anisotropic) temperature factor and overall scale, so that the differences between related observations can be interpreted more sensibly.
I am sure by now that the authors of these programs will be online and able to provide a more authoritative answer. I guess what would be helpful here is to know what you are trying to achieve in this scaling.
