structure, and refined simultaneously, the phase information is combined 
naturally, without having to export part of
the information through Hendrickson-Lattman coefficients.  

I am very happy to see that phenix and phaser have adopted and are promoting using the SAD function. Although, I must say that I am a bit surprised, as when we were first discussing the merits of combining all the information in this way, we found rather strong resistance:

"R. Read and G. Bricogne (UK) suggested that the anomalous phasing information was well described by Hendrickson Lattman coefficients..."

Refmac does have the ability to output likelihood difference maps: we are all thankful for Gerard for introducing this powerful technique. In future versions of CCP4 and Refmac this will be automated.
