I have a little XPLOR ascii-format electron density map reader worked 
out. Can someone send me a few files?
I need a molecular coordinate file and the corresponding Xplor electron 
density map.
I'm not sure exactly what the file format description is telling me:

Example format for Xplor Maps:
 
       2 !NTITLE
 REMARKS FILENAME=""
 REMARKS scitbx.flex.double to Xplor map format
      24       0      24     120       0     120      54       0      54
 3.20420E+01 1.75362E+02 7.96630E+01 9.00000E+01 9.00000E+01 9.00000E+01
ZYX
       0
-2.84546E-01-1.67775E-01-5.66095E-01-1.18305E+00-1.49559E+00-1.31942E+00
-1.01611E+00-1.00873E+00-1.18992E+00-1.02460E+00-2.72099E-01 5.94242E-01

   -9999
  0.0000E+00  1.0000E+00
That is:
...a blank line
...an integer giving the number of title lines, with mandatory !NTITLE
...title lines in %-264s format
...X, Y, and Z sections giving:
     N     sections per unit cell, in the given direction
     Nmin  ordinal of first section in file
     Nmax  ordinal of last section in file

[so, is a section a point, or are there N+1 points for N sections?]
[what if the first ordinal is not 0? What does that mean?]
[is it always true that Nmin + N = Nmax ?]

...unit cell dimensions
[do these have to be orthogonal? (I'm guessing not --- doesn't matter to 
me, just wondering)]

...slow, medium, fast section order, always ZYX
[happy about that]

...for each slow section, the section number
...sectional data in special fortran format shown
[looks simple enough to me]

...-9999
...map average and standard deviation
