NCS operator generation - clarification

Mike,

Here are some possible solutions to find the NCS operator. I like version 
#2 the most. 

- graphical: You said you have O. You can use the LSQ_explicit command. 
Then you should use the LSQ_improve command. This has one advantage that 
you can actually see on the screen how the models match up.

- you could use Gerard's 4d_lsqman which basically does the same thing, 
but doesn't display the results graphically. Use the option EXplicit. 
Then, once this is done you see the transformation matrix. After that the 
SHow command shows some other neat values. 

- you can use X-PLOR and use the "ncs restraints" method. This will 
calculate the transformation matrix each time. 

Mike I think you mean you want to use RAVE when you say you want 
to use O? 

Good luck,
	Gus
