shelxl-2012 does include the space group in a way that Coot understands when it writes a .pdb file. This version is in the final beta-testing stage with a lot of new features (mainly for small molecules) and no known bugs, so I hope to release it soon. If anyone would like to try it now please send me an email.

Dear Developers of Coot,

I believe that coot has never been able to display the crystallographic 
symmetry of a R32:H shelxl .res file. As a result, water picking does not work 
properly for such a file. Everything else seems to work fine. This is not a 
huge problem, but it would be nice to be able to see symmetry atoms without 
loading the corresponding shelxl .pdb (which accidentally lacks the space group 
information anyway, so it has to be edited prior to loading). Again, not a big 
problem but I believe it is an easy fix in the code, so hopefully this will be 
done at some point in the future.

Thank you,

Petr
