I'm still favouring CNS for conventional maximum likelihood refinement: it
is very fast and produces both excellent models and electron density maps.
And it has the better bulk solvent correction due to the missing solvent
B-factor in the mask approach of REFMAC.

(So I have to stay out of San Francisco (as Tassos suggested) and now also
out of York for a while.)

Regards,

Dirk.
