Come on guys, lets be fair to the authors of SHARP. They gave us this
powerful program for free. It takes some time to learn how to use it.
After that, you might find that SHARP together with SHELXD, is probably
one of the best ways of getting your datasets phased! Sure the package
is not as user friendly and not easy to install. But be patient please!
Crystallography has come a long way. Just think about those times in the
past when such software was not even written and computers were nowhere
as powerful! We ought to be grateful that Global Phasing even releases
free updates for us.
