Cant answer your first Q.
For the second - SFCHECK is only a "checking" procedure. It does not calculate the scale factor in the same way as REFMAC and will very often give differences (of up to 5%) in Rfactors..

Hi

Sorry for these real-ccp4 questions:

1. Remote jobs
I tried to run a remote job on a distant computer. It didn't work. I guess it has to run on a local network with the /home and /tmp shared by NFS?!? Does anyone has a script integrated in ccp4 that transfers file to another machine, runs the job and re-transfers the ouput?

2. R and r_free under REFMAC
I decided to run refmac with TLS at the end of my refinement process. I'm quite new to ccp4, because I usually use cns. The conversion between the two went well.

I ran SFcheck on the initial model, to mesure r and free_r which gives 0.186/0.208. There's a small difference with cns (0.1854/0.2060), but that doesn't bother. What really bothers is those values at the end of the refinement with REFMAC. The values go down during the refinement process (if I look at the log graph) and the pdb output gives:
REMARK   3   CROSS-VALIDATION METHOD          : THROUGHOUT
REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE TEST SET SELECTION  : RANDOM
REMARK   3   R VALUE     (WORKING + TEST SET) : 0.16981
REMARK   3   R VALUE            (WORKING SET) :  0.16822
REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE                     :  0.20006
REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE TEST SET SIZE   (%) :  5.0
REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE TEST SET COUNT      :  8921

But if I run SFcheck on the output pdb, it gives me 0.187/0.217, which is approx 0.02 difference with REFMAC! I really don't understand what happens. I'm asking myself if the refinement went well and from two programs, I have different values!

Thank you,

Julien
