XPREP and SHELXC use different algorithms and sometime one of them will
give better results than the other. In particular for MAD data, XPREP
takes the actual f' and f" values into account and can refine them if you
have at least three wavelengths, whereas SHELXC uses standard values and

instead of shelxc to do the same job? i realize xprep does a lot of
other things, but also seem to get the idea from some places that
it does a better job than shelxc at preparing data from shelxd, or is there
any differenc
