Hello Rex,

no, sorry. Shelx format isn't really well supported. We have some code 
that can parse these files but I have no idea how up-to-date it is and I 
doubt it is very well tested, and it is not user-level exposed.

Only PDB and mmCIF are fully supported in most tools (Tom, Randy: is 
mmCIF supported in Phaser and Autobuil and other related utilities?).

I guess you can convert Shelx file into PDB file with dedicated Shelx 
utility (ShelxPro?). I would expect Tim can offer more comments.

Pavel
