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

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
