[phenixbb] pointer distances, recording water

Hi Paul,
the format of the file got screwed. I am resending the file in the 
attachment.

I would like to repeat the description of the problem.

There is a difference in recording of water molecules in coot and in 
phenix. The example is given in the attached pdb file.

I apologize for the wrong subject (pointer distances), as this was my 
previous request to make pointer distances available to atoms of 
symmetry molecules.
