Hi Randy,
Thank you very much for the advice. I use CCP4 version 6.4.0 on my Mac OS X
10.10.1, after my updating my Mac OS X to 10.10.1 three weeks ago, I did
have a issue to open CCP4, I have to re-install X-Quartz and after that I
can open CCP4 well. I haven't updated CCP4 to 6.5, maybe I should update to
6.5 because of somehow I may have a bug on my CCP4 as you said.

Xiao
