Hi Jan,

Thanks for the message

- At the moment there is the imosflm tutorial on website under Documentation
http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/imosflm/
- There is no equivalent of the old mosflm parameter file ... yet.
- When loading images imosflm loads all the images with the same template.
However, if you then want to add more images to the same sector it only
adds a single image at a time. This is a limitation that I will have to
get around in a future release.

I'm working towards the next release which will see your points addressed.
We'll keep improving imosflm according to the suggestions of users so keep
them coming

Luke
