Wow, that's super cool! Nice. Thanks Eric.

I of course originally did the symmetry operations by hand (well, with the
help of PDBSET, in CCP4), to educate myself on how to follow the
instructions provided with the PDB to reconstruct their structure. More of
an "academic" endeavor I suppose. Doing that repeatedly would be a waste
of time with the tools that are evidently available.

Thanks again Eric.
