Re: [ccp4bb]: R.S. A.U. limits

For information, the documentation for the CCP4 symmetry s/r library
SYMLIB ($CHTML/symlib.html on your local system) has an appendix with
the asu limits for both real and reciprocal space (go and have a look!)
It might be useful if Tassos' list of Arp asu's was carried in the Arp
documentation?

The real space limits in the SYMLIB document are those which will be
used by any program which calls the CCP4 library routine SETLIM
(reciprocal space limits are from PGNLAU) - unfortunately not all CCP4
programs use this routine, which is where the inconsistencies start to
arise within the suite. 

I'm all for Kevin's methods for dealing with programmers who don't use
libraries (btw I hope his reference to "superior firepower" actually
meant bigger and better computers...). In the meantime but it would be
useful for us if people could highlight the specific inconsistencies so
that we could start to address the problem at source. 

Apologies in the mean time for any confusion,
Best wishes

Peter.
