-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Ed,
I do feel offended because I follow the ccp4bb with the intention of helping people with my answers, which does take time. If it turns out the I wasted my time because of the lack of information I consider the question asked not follow what I consider netiquette. I doubt that one line from a PDB file or the point that you have used pbdvconv before (especially in case you were aware of the problem being due to a simple shift - of course I do not know whether you were aware of it when opening the thread) and it failed would have revealed any information that would give your competitors any advantage, but it would have narrowed down the problem and probably the number of people spending time trying to find and give a helpful answer.
