Dear Eleanor and Gerard,

PDB testing is performed on MTZ file and can not detect conversion errors.

Dear Eleanor,

     That is a useful suggestion, but in the case of 3ftt it would not have
helped: the amplitudes would have looked as healthy as can be (they were
calculated!), and it was the associated Sigmas that had absurd values, being
in fact phases in degrees. A sanity check on some (recalculated) I/sig(I)
statistics could have detected that something was fishy.

     Looking forward to the archiving of the REAL data ... i.e. the images.
Using any other form of "data" is like having to eat out of someone else's
dirty plate!


     With best wishes,
    
          Gerard.
