Hi Ed,
documentation on TIP4 will be included in the 2.7 release, but the code
is there in 2.7b1. I'll send you some sample files off list. I do not
expect the implementation in its present form to work with gromacs
formatted topologies; only charmm formatted. In 2.7b1 the only dummy
atom code is for the TIP4 (and related water model) lone pair, but some
more general code is currently in the works.

Best,
Peter
