[3dem] different mrc formats in relion-1.2 and xmipp-3. ???

[Dieter Blaas]

Dear Marin,
    thanks for the hint, but isn't that a misunderstanding?

I am not talking about a set of 3D volumes but just one 3D volume that 
seems to be defined differently when output from xmipp-3.0 and 
relion-1.2. Is there a way of changing the data in the header from  244 
x 1 x 244 x 244 to 1 x 244 x 244 x 244? If so, everything might be fine!

best, Dieter
