Hi folks - this seems to have been lost in the ccp4bb disaster
yesterday...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mosflm version 6.2.1 is now available as a build-it-yourself tarball and
as pre-built executables. 

*** N.B. It is functionally identical to the version of Mosflm
*** distributed with CCP4 version 4.2, except for some small bug fixes
*** which will not affect the majority of users.

Executables have been built and tested on the following
platforms/operating systems;

        Alpha OSF/1 (Tru64 UNIX) version 5
        SGI Irix 6.2
        SGI Irix 6.5
        PC Linux (built under SUSE v 7.3 with gcc/g77 2.95.3)
        Macintosh OS X version 10.1.3 (gcc/g77 2.95.2)
        Macintosh LinuxPPC (built under SUSE v 7.3 with gcc/g77 2.95.3)

Installation of a version of CCP4 no earlier than version 4.2 is
recommended, although no problems have been found by running in
conjunction with CCP4 version 4.1.1.

It is available via two routes:

(1) via http from our website http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/mosflm

(2) via anonyomous ftp (command line only, not through web browsers);

        ftp ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk
        user anonymous (+ your username as password)
        bin
        cd pub/mosflm/ver621
        
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
There are a number of developments from version 6.2.0

* command line spot finding (FINDSPOTS FIND command)

* duplicate directory names supplied with the DIRECTORY command are now 
  detected

* "datasetname" and "projectname" default values assigned by program rather than
  left blank.

* maximum length of command line increased to 400 characters (for people with
  VERY wide terminals :-))

PLUS

Several small bug fixes that have come to light since the release of 6.2.0.
