DENSITY MODIFICATION AND MOLECULAR AVERAGING

There are three different programs for density improvement. 'dm' reads reflection data file with associated phases; SOLOMON reads a map. Both generate an improved map/phases. 'dmmulti' is only used when there are reflection data from multiple crystal forms, and some initial phases are available.
