Re: [ccp4bb] Running Refmac from WinCoot

[Mydy, Lisa]

Hi,
I haven’t encountered these issues, however I am routinely using CCP4i2 on 
Windows 10. A fresh install of  CCP4 Program Suite v8.0.009 + SHELX + COOT 
v0.9.8.1 (exe) has worked well. After Refmac5, I use the button “Coot” to 
launch a new task, then run WinCoot from there. When I use CCP4i, WinCoot has 
worked from the outpage of Refmac5.

Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions: lmydy at

Subject: [ccp4bb] Running Refmac from WinCoot

External Email - Use Caution
Hi all

I am using WinCoot with a number of final year project students, and they are 
having a miserable time.

They are installing CCP4 themselves (so that they get both WinCoot and refmac), 
I presume using all the defaults. We also have it on classroom machines across 
campus.

If they run WinCoot directly, then refmac doesn't work.

So what we do is tell them to launch a CCP4console, and type 'coot' in it. Then 
refmac works most of the time, but not all. And for some, refmac will work for 
a month or so, and then stop.

After that, our fallback is to teach them to launch CCP4i2, create a dummy 
project, and launch Coot from there. That is clumsy, but very seldom fails. But 
very occasionally even that fails.

Unfortunately I don't have very much in the way of debug information except for 
screenshots I get sent. Does anyone have WinCoot and refmac running reliably 
together please, or has anyone seen similar problems?

[ccp4bb] DMMULTI replacement in CCP4i2?

[Mydy, Lisa]

Hi all,

 I read that Parrot is a replacement for DM based on CCP4i2 documentation 
and am curious if Parrot has the same capabilities as DMMULTI for phase 
extension?


Is DMMULTI by command line only? I see DM in CCP4i GUI.


I'm trying to figure out best path forward with phase extension including 
2-fold averaging, solvent flattening, and extending phases from 4 A to 2.9 A 
for SeMet SAD.



Thank you kindly,

--Lisa Mydy
