Reflection files format

CCP4 reflection files are binary files that are usually read by routines from CCP4 libraries. However, sometimes one wants to read them with a different programming language or without linking to the libraries, and it may be fun to work out alternative ways.
MTZ
A standalone Fortran program readmtz.f90 to read two MTZ files (both with at least one amplitude and one phase column), and to calculate the correlation coefficient of their electron densities, is this:
! gfortran -C -fbacktrace readmtz.f90 -o readmtz
MODULE readmtz_mod
! minimal MTZ file reader - Kay Diederichs 11/2018 . According to
! http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/mtzformat.html which is not completely correct
! e.g. the reflection data do not start at byte 21=20+1, but at byte 81=4*20+1

LCF
The CCP4 LCF (labelled column format) files were phased-out in the early 90's but some interesting data still lingers on half-inch tapes so, if they can be read, the LCF files can be converted to ASCII or other formats for safe-keeping, or further use. Jonathan Cooper has worked out how to read them, mainly using Python, and documents this. The directory ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/lcfstuff/ has some Fortran routines.
A Fortran program (lcf_dump) to accomplish this is:
! reads cell, column labels, comment, and reflection data from LCF file - Kay Diederichs 7/2019 . ! Nota bene - symmetry i.e. space group seemingly not stored in LCF file ! reading VAX format is easy with the ifort compiler since it understands VAX REAL format: ! ifort lcf_dump.f90 -o lcf_dump IMPLICIT NONE ! LCF items INTEGER(2) :: header(8),ncol INTEGER(2), ALLOCATABLE :: refdat(:) REAL :: cell(6) CHARACTER :: separator*12 ! length may depend on machine that wrote LCF file ! program variables INTEGER :: i CHARACTER :: string*120 i=COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT() IF (i/=1) STOP 'usage: lcf_dump <name.LCF>' ! read command line CALL GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT(1,string) ! expects LCF filename on command line !
