Dear Ed,

These tables were reported by Refmac5:

Before refinement,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Restraint type              N restraints   Rms Delta   Av(Sigma)
 .....
VDW repulsions: symmetry: refined_atoms          38     0.232     0.200
VDW repulsions: symmetry: others                100     0.393     0.200
HBOND: symmetry: refined_atoms                   11     0.229     0.200
HBOND: symmetry: others                           1     0.120     0.200
 .....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After refinement,

VDW repulsions: symmetry: refined_atoms          27     0.190     0.200
VDW repulsions: symmetry: others                 76     0.262     0.200
HBOND: symmetry: refined_atoms                   13     0.225     0.200


I thought that meant there's vdw repulsion energy among symmetry
related atoms, which I want refmac5 to ignore.
