Unfortunately my ligand is fairly small, about 12 atoms.The Fo-Fc map won't
be that helpful.

XDS is the only program that is able to process my data (small oscillation
angle and huge data file). On the other hand I am pretty sure xds is doing
what it's supposed to do. I was more thinking of another program to generate
anomalous map. Since it's phenixbb, probably it's not the right place :)
