Wedger Elves is in an infinite loop, right?
No. This is normal. Something I discovered while developing Elves was that re-running many programs with the average of the refined output parameters from a previous run results in noticably improved statistics and better data quality. The stats continue to improve with additional re-refinements. For example, take the average value of the refined unit cell, mosaic spread, distance, beam center, etc. from a mosflm log file. If these numbers differ significantly from the ones you put into the mosflm input file, then one might expect that the refined numbers would have been a better choice for the input file. Turns out they usually are. Even if there is no improvement in your results, you might as well copy the refined numbers back into the script for posterity. This policy of re-running jobs to improve data quality is the default in Elves. Wedger usually converges its mosflm jobs after four or five iterations, but sometimes a dozen or more are needed. If you are in a hurry, and don’t car
