Thank you Pavel for the great piece of software, and for being very prompt and responsive to users' problems and suggestions.

I agree. The weight for coordinate refinement is reported in log file. 
The weight for ADP refinement is not reported because of a printing bug 
that I will fix.

Ok, I will add the weight to the table of values that phenix.refine 
outputs by the end of each refinement.

Thanks for always useful feedback!
Pavel.
