Hi Tony,

Thanks for your input. However, I am almost towards the end of model
building...need to join some loops and so..and that was the R/Rfree...The
Scala/Xtriage/Ctruncate output did not show any signs of twining...although
in presence of tNCS these tests are all blurred....but even in phaser MR
which detected the tNCS vector and corrected it eventually, did not show
the presence of twining...I think even without the presence of twining,
twin refinement is not a good option to turn on. Please let me know what
you think.

Best,
Sudipta.
