I am thinking this could be done using pdbset to apply symops and origin 
shifts, etc, with a bit of checking in Coot, creative chain-ID's and some trial 
and error? Or using Coot to apply symops and save the resulting pdb's with 
different chain ID's and then concatenate them into a mini-lattice? Cheers, 
Jon.C.
