[phenixbb] MTZ files

[Thomas C. Terwilliger]

Hi Kyle,

As Shya says, the overall_best* files are the ones to use for (1) your
working model and (2) the best density-modified map.  For phenix.refine,
use

exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz

which contains Fobs and sigma, any experimental phase information you
have, and freeR flags for refinement.

Also yes, definitely move to the current version of phenix which you will
like a lot more than the one you have.

All the best,
Tom T
