Hi Pavol, Garib
Actually, that bit of doc doesn't answer a few practical questions we
keep running into:
1) What spacegroup should you provide the data in? The usual scenario,
in practice, is that one merges in too high symmetry, and wants to check
whether it is actually lower symmetry with

Please note that so far CIF structure factors files were not sent by

I spoke with Helen and John last Saturday and they promised me to change

Just to second this, and point out that with Mingw cross compilers, you
can build Windows executables on Linux or OSX that run on all versions of
Windows from 95 to Vista... (and might even run on 3.1, but I don't have a
3.1 box to test on).

Hi,
I am currently trying to work with perfectly twinned data and have a starting
model that I found through phaser. In trying to refine the model against the

sort of automatic refinement against the found twin laws

That is a useful suggestion, but in the case of 3ftt it would not have

I presume you have done density modification after calculating the exptl

If you use REFMAC to refine your partial model with the exptl/density
modified phase restraints your FWT PHWT fourier coefficients already use

It would be possible for the deposition sites to run a few simple tests

vice versa - the truncate plots of moments and cumulative intensities at
