Angelo,
The VMD CCP4 plugin currently only supports the newer "image 2000"
specification CCP4 map files. I just checked your map file and it
appears to be one of the older variety files. We plan to add support
for the older MRC and CCP4 map file variations, but for the short term
I would suggest converting your map to the new CCP4 map
format, which is described in detail here (see "image data file format"):
http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/image2000.html
You can tell if the file follows the image2000 spec or not based
on whether it contains the "MAP" string at offset 53.
I plan to start working on updating the CCP4 map plugin to support the older
formats after VMD 1.8.6 is released and I've taken care of a few other
comittments that are already on the TODO list.
Anyone interested in testing the updated CCP4 plugin (when it's ready)
should email us at vmd_at_ks.uiuc.edu and I'll contact them when the
new version is available. Once enough people have tested it, we can
provide it in a plugin update release for everyone.
Cheers,
John Stone
