[Imgcif-l] CBF file templates

[Winter, Graeme (DLSLtd,RAL,DIA)]

Hi Harry,

Since we have more ADSC detectors than any other this is something at
the front of my mind! However, something we're looking for is being able
to put more information in the image header than is currently contained
therein (= omelette) 
so some change may be necessary (= broken eggs)

The aim is to define a superset of the format that the ADSC produces,
which should mean that Mosflm continues to be happy.

Cheers,

Graeme

Hi

Use something that doesn't break the CBFs that the ADSC detectors write.
They are, without a doubt, the best model to use, mainly because they
have been writing CBFs for more years than I care to remember and Chris
has been more responsive than anyone else in making them useful.
