internally in PHENIX there are many pieces of code that do this (like
X-ray target calculation in phenix.refine), but I am not aware of any
dedicated program that is exposed to the end-user and that does this. So
I guess the quick answer is "no". If you think it is important to have
then, as I mentioned before, I can and add it to phenix.model_vs_data
output.

This is true. It will have to read a PDB file to obtain Fmodel (which is
not just Fc).

Not sure the code will be short since you have to estimate sigmaA (or
alpha/beta - what's used on phenix.refine). By the way, in this case
your input will also have to include free-R flags in addition to Fo and
Fmodel. I recall I spent more than a week before I got it right and fast -;)
