Dear Victor
I'm glad that you see the desirability of updating Arp/warp to allow
any setting. I'm a recent convert to this idea myself
Best wishes

Dear Phil,
One reason has been simplicity - many ARP/wARP modules operate with
space group number only. For space group 18 this would mean P21212
Thanks very much to everybody for useful discussion on space groups, axes and
ARP/wARP. I would particularly refer to the argument on space group uncertainty
in data processing and a need to have convenient means to screen various space
groups and axes settings for, e.g. automated molecular
seems to be a 'non-standard' setting. Refmac also has problems with this
spacegroup, reindexing to P21 21 2 fixed the problem for me.

Quoting PhilEvans [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Is there a reason why Arp/warp doesn't like space group P 21 2 21?
Phil
Probably because it's not a standard notation.
The standard notation is P21212.
I would reindex and run again.

Using space group name might be less robust - I remember some
compatibility problems when CCP4 introduced spaces into space group
names, this
