I noticed that Refmac has done the 1vs0 thing correct for ages, which is very 
useful because mix-ups between the work set and test set used to be quite 
common in the reflection files at the pdb (Refmac saved me a lot of extra work 
with this). Dealing with this problem is very simple as the smallest set is 
typically the test set.

Phenix however needs to deal with the CCP4 type reflection binning. Now the 
size of the sets cannot be used which means that you have find a smarter 
solution. So I wonder how this is implemented. Does Phenix use the (reasonable) 
assumption that the test set is labeled 1.00 or 0.00? Or does it also check the 
sets with other labels?

Cheers,
Robbie

Dear Tim

In principle if a user defines freer flag then refmac knows about that (unless 
freer flag is 0 then refmac assumes that it is default). In this case (if freer 
defined by user) then it is not altered.
