Hi Joseph,
I would check the formating of your PDB file. When I looked at it
under another program, the columns were not aligned. The format of the
PDB file is very precise, everything must be in the right column and
you can't have any <TAB> characters separating entries. Entiries must
be separated by <spaces>.
Regards,
Jeff
