Dear James, Here are a few items. Let me know if you need more detail 1. imgCIF: The imgCIF dictionary and Crystallographic Binary Format (CBF) format based on that dictionary have seen increasing use in 2008-2009. The Pilatus 6m pixel array detector for Dectris produces images in a mini-CBF format, and a conversion utitlity is available for expansion to full CBF format. ADSC has provided full support for writing CBF format output for its detectors, and Rayonix and Rigaku have started serious efforts on CBF support for their detectors to conform to the DLS procurement standards. P. Chang of DLS has produced software to allow use of the format for Java-based applications. In collaboratation with K. Dederichs, H. J. Bernstein has enhanced the previous Fortran support to now cover all aspects of the format. Added to the extisting C/C++ support from P. Ellis and H. J. Bernstein, and the Python support from J. Wright of ESRF, the format is now supported for the major programming languages used in handling diffraction images. Both mosflm and adxv are able to accept CBF images. 2. Interoperability between imgCIF and NeXus. Software to convert from CBF to NeXus was written by H. J. Bernstein in 2007-2008. P. Chang of DLS has now enhanced that software. 3. DDLm support. E. Zlateva, a student of H. J. Bernstein at Dowling College, is incorporating J. Hester's dRel parser into CBFlib to complete DDLm support in CFBlib and will report on that work at ACA 2009 in Toronto. Regards, Herbert P.S. Do you want to say anything about the archiving discussions on the CCP4 list? ===================================================== Herbert J.
