Dear Gerard,

I can only agree with you - I've also noticed a growing and sometimes 
irritating cross-advertisement of non-CCP4 programs on the CCP4BB over 
the last months (mainly Phenix). Unless, the specific task that was 
asked for, can only be (reasonably) solved with non-CCP4 programs, such 
replies leave a somewhat bad aftertaste.
Personally, I think, it would be perfectly acceptable if both solutions 
with CCP4 programs and other programs would be given, so that the user 
may choose, or try them all.

Best wishes,

Dirk.
