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

[Marin van Heel]

Dear Dieter

I understand you only have one 3D data set.  The problem however is that 
apparently these programs handle your one 3D data set with two different 
definitions of a 4D data set. In both cases one of the 4 dimensions is 
set to unity (after all there is only one 3D volume). The programs 
apparently use a different position for the (N)Objects variable which in 
both cases is set to "1".  Since the MRC/CCP4 format does not 
support/define this fourth dimension these two different 4D formats are 
both (mulually incompatible) extensions to the MRC/CCP4 format .

Hope I have been clearer this time around.

Cheers

Marin
