[phenixbb] WAS: changing TLS groups mid refinement _- Scalepack and Truncation

[Felix Frolow]

As far as I remember from my early encounters with Denzo and Scalepack during my visit to Yale University in the beginning of 90's (Alan Friedman, if you are listening, thank you for that)  Scalepack already is doing sort of "tinkering" and French&Wilson statistics known in other places that claim priority as Haiker statistics, is not necessary. However maybe I am wrong, and input from Otwinowsky or/and Minor may clarify situation.

The need to run an extra conversion step in a different suite is not going to be obvious to grad students (and many if not most postdocs).
