Re: Generate psf file in x-plor format

Hi Nehad,

Does it have numbers for atomtypes (third column of the psf)? If so, its
in charmm format. If it has alphanumeric atomtypes, its in xplor format.
Where did your rtf file come from? I didn't know the Amber folks
distributed their force field in a CHARMM-compatible way. If its not
written in the standard way for CHARMM topology files, psfgen will
happily put what it sees as the atomtypes (which might be numbers) in
the type field, and give you the error that you see.
