Chris, your suggestion implies that a) none of the residues have the same
"number" as other residues and b) there are not too many of each residue (i.e <
10000 waters, for example).
The problem I had was that I had 560 POPC residues and they were not numbered
from 1 to 560. They were numbered in blocks from 1 (up)to 30. So, when you
read them in, all the residues with the same number got overwritten.
Autopsf in VMD apparently ignores this.
Richard

Richard,
Create a psf/pdb set for each seperate molecular
system (moleculeA.psf, moleculeA.pdb, moleculeB.psf, etc),
then in VMD use a script similar to the following:
package require psfgen
psfcontext reset
resetpsf
topology top_all22_prot.inp
readpsf moleculeA.psf
coordpdb moleculeA.pdb
readpsf moleculeB.psf
coordpdb moleculeB.pdb
writepsf myNewSystem.psf
writepdb myNewSystem.pdb
Best,
Chris
