Dear all,

since there were more than one remark about the shelx c/d/e interface
in ccp4 6.3.0 crashing I just tried myself.

I DO get output from shelxc, unlike e.g. Shanti Pal Gangwar who opened
one corresponding thread on this bb, but shelxc crashes because of
improper conversion of the mtz-file to sca-format.

Since sca-format is fixed format, the data ought to be rescaled to
99999.99, something e.g. the program mtz2sca
(http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/~tg/research/programs/mtz2x/mtz2sca/index.php)
does by default.

I know that several pipelines have had this problem with mtz2various,
but I am not aware of a fix (I ran the ccp4 auto-update  just now).

I can recommend, however, that people either use Thomas Schneider's
GUI hkl2map or run shelx c/d/e from the command line - it is really
not difficult and explained e.g. in the tutorial available from my
web-site.

http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/~tg/teaching/anl-ccp4/index.php

I copy this to ccp4-dev hoping that the ccp4i GUI gets fixed soon.
I case there is a fix I am not aware of, I am sorry, no offence meant.
There have just been many comments (also personal, off-board) and I
hope this gives an answer to many of those who asked.

Best,
Tim
