Dear David,
It is neither apathy nor approval. I am still departmental chairperson
and term has just started and I simply do not have time at the moment to
give it the attention it deserves. Note that I have agreed with Bill
Clegg and other Editors of Acta that he will supply me with a list of
CIF items that it would be desirable to include in the next release of
SHELX for the purpose of submitting papers to Acta, it is therefore
important that any new items that will be required for this get into his
list.
Best wishes, George
