I think Pointless 1.2.23 was a broken version which escaped to the wild in CCP4 release 6.1.0. The more recent release 6.1.1 has a fixed version, and some more recent versions are also available from our ftp site

eg ftp://ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pub/pre/pointless-1.3.2...

sorry about this

I'm hoping someone can help me with a pointless problem. I am trying to reindex data into an orientation that I used to solve the structure initially. While I can get pointless to give me the reindexing needed to make the new data match the old data for the project, when I ask it to write the data to HKLOUT it does not carry out the reindexing. I was under the impression from the documentation it would write out the reindexed solution. Am I doing something wrong or have I found a bug in my particular space group. I seem to recall getting this to work on a different project in the past. I have also tried a number of different versions of pointless, and all give me the same results. The output file is shown below.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Possible alternative indexing schemes
 Operators labelled "exact" are exact by symmetry
 For inexact options, deviations are from original cell
    (root mean square deviation between base vectors)
Maximum accepted RMS deviation between test and reference cells (TOLERANCE) = 2.0
