 Refinement of F² against ALL reflections.  The weighted R-factor wR and
 goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based
 on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of
 F² > 2σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is
 not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.  R-factors based
 on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-
 factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

 All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
 are estimated using the full covariance matrix.  The cell s.u.'s are taken
 into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles
 and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only
 used when they are defined by crystal symmetry.  An approximate (isotropic)
 treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes.
