Why are you bothering to SCALE data for input to SHELX? ALL SHELX programs (including SHELXL, SHELXC, and also XPREP) do not care what the scale is, they bring the data on to a sensible scale for their own use. They also do any necessary merging of equivalents, removal of systematic absences, etc., and the input reflection order is irrelevant.

The only possible reason for scaling the data is to prevent mtz2various from outputting '********', but Eleanor's automatic scaling in mtz2various is (presumably) designed to prevent this.

Hi,

I have the following problem:
I run mtz2various with the script:

mtz2various HKLIN in.mtz HKLOUT out.hkl<<eof>mtz2var.log
OUTPUT SHELX
labin  FP=FP SIGFP=SIGFP DP=DANDO SIGDP=SIGDANO
resolution 134.840 2.853
fsquared scale 0.5
end
eof


... and get the following logfile-entries:

 ### CCP4 5.0: MTZ2VARIOUS        version 5.0       : 04/08/04##
...
 Data line--- OUTPUT SHELX
 Data line--- labin  FP=FP SIGFP=SIGFP DP=DANDO SIGDP=SIGDANO
 Data line--- resolution 134.840 2.853
 Data line--- fsquared scale 0.5
...
 *** You are inputting Fs  and requesting Is to be output.
 *** The Fs will be squared and scaled by:  1.0000
...

Scaling of my intensities is not possible. I have the same problem in the ccp4-interface. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards

Patrick Polzer
