Dear All,
 
The current version of CCP4 does not contain mtzdump. I use UCLA MBI — mtzdump 
to process it. For a mtz file, the output says there was no valid reflection 
data. For another mtz file, it only gave about 50 lines information (not a new 
mtz file). As for the original mtz is very large, I think at least some message 
in the mtz file has been missing or has not been recovered by UCLA MBI — 
mtzdump.
 
Please feel free for further advise.
 
Smith
