i suspect you're in a hurry, eh ? well, since i'm going to be away from now
until the 6th of may, i'll only post on the subject once

for some discussion, see section 7.1.5 of DVD, Acta Cryst 2000, pp 249-265
(http://xray.bmc.uu.se/cgi-bin/gerard/reprint_mailer.pl?pref=56)

briefly, you have a choice of reporting nominal resolution, effective
resolution a la bart hazes (can be a sobering experience), and/or the optical
resolution. nominal resolution is something you decide subjectively. effective
resolution can be calculated using dataman. optical resolution is calculated
by sfcheck
