Hi Ian,

I don't know if that helps - but I used the attached script to
'convert' pre-CCP4_5.X types of MTZ files into CCP4_5.X files: not
elegant but works.

The trick is to set the spacegroup name in the header again by giving
the spacegroup number to MTZUTILS - which then fetches the (currently
correct) spacegroup name from the (currently used) library.

Cheers

Clemens
