I'm running Coot 0.6.1 on a Mac (running 10.5.8), installed via Fink.
I'm running some Shelx refinements. When I try to save the coordinates
(as a .ins, from a .res that I read in) I get this error

This happens even when I make no changes to the coordinates before
trying to save. It doesn't happen with pdb format coordinates. Any
ideas?
Dear Alice,
I think that this is the same problem that Derek Logan complained about
recently. I did investigate the problem and it seemed to result from
setting the precision or other output format specifiers for the floating
point numbers in the .ins file. I don't know why Coot on a Mac should
do this - I suspect a Mac problem rather than a Coot problem.
I have patched things up in the pre-release to not crash on writing the
.ins file - but that doesn't help a great deal because the resulting
.ins file is empty.
Real solution still pending. I'm hoping the Bill and I can find some
time to bash on it soon.
Paul.
