Tips

• Since version 2.05 there is a new program called resolve_pattern that can be used to improve phases calculated by solve before running resolve.
• resolve is now able to automaticly estimate the percentage of solvent.
• There is also a new procedure to do iterative model building using resolve and refmac5 (resolve_autobuild.csh). So the new standard procedure is:
  - run solve
  - In difficult case try resolve_pattern.csh
  - run resolve or resolve_autobuild.csh
  
• One can chain:
  solve.com ; resolve_pattern.csh ; resolve_autobuild.csh
  You can modified these script by copying them in your local directory:
  (cp /opt/pxsoft/solve-2.06/scripts/resolve_*.csh .)

Known problems

• On linux, there is a NFS bug that slows down solve and resolve processes when they are started on nice accounts. To run these programs much faster, one can create a temporary directory in /tmp, and start the programs from there. WARNING: Do not forget to copy back to your nice account this directory at the end of the run. Your file may be deleted in a short period.
