I think it is far safer to run CAD with 9 files,
then again with the output file as the first input, plus 8 more etc etc etc..

This isnt something you want to do very often

hich I modified a while back to handle up to 999
files simultaneously, and which I can send to anyone privately on
request, as long as you accept the entire risk of using it (and you
should probably also heed Martyn's warning!).  It has probably
diverged from the distributed version and may not have benefitted from
any recent (and no-so-recent) bugfixes, so no guarantees to fix it if
it doesn't work for you!

And yes it was a pig to get it working, it wasn't just a matter of
increasing MAXFILES, the file limits are also embedded in the labels.

Caveat emptor!

Yes, CAD is limited to 9 input files. I seem to remember I once tried to
increase the limit, but got into problems (it is not just a case of
increasing MAXFILES). It is far simpler and safer to run CAD
iteratively.

But an MTZ file can hold more. The current limits are:
#define MXTALS      100
#define MSETS      1000
#define MCOLUMNS  10000

In principle, we could remove these limits, but I guess they are ok in
most normal cases ...

Hello,
9 mtz files are the limit of CAD, one things you can do is to modify the
source file , that is wrote in fortran, or write a bash script or  that
run iteratively the CAD script and change the MTZ files.

CCP4'ers,

Are 9 datasets the maximum for an mtz file? or a single run of cad? The
manual (http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/cad.html) seems to suggest that 9 is
the limit per cad run but not for a given mtz.
