Dear Jacob,

     I thought that getting 5 for each iodine was doing pretty well, given
the circumstances - e.g. the noisy measurements, the primitive software
running on slow computers with tiny amounts of memory, etc. . 

     In any case my main point, directed at the original poster, was that
reading the early Acta Cryst. issues ("RTFL") might be an alternative and
perhaps more enlightening way of getting a picture of the evolution of
phasing methods than finding some clever filter settings in the RCSB ;-) .


     With best wishes,
     
          Gerard.
