First, you need to calculate a map. This is a calculation rather than a format conversion (which is why mapman doesn't have an option for this format). Assuming that .phs is a phases formatted file, you can use fsfour to calculate a map (although you'll probably have to convert that phases formatted map to ccp4 or xplor map format). You could also use the CNS or CCP4 packages, although in either case you'll have to convert the reflection file. Pete
