Re: more than 99999 atoms in PDB files

Dear Gilbert,

         Hi there! This is Lewyn at Columbia. Nice to "catch up" with you
at the namd-l website.

         Anyway, to answer your question: according to my experience,
"*****" is not a problem with NAMD, because, if I remember correctly, NAMD
has its own "internal" numbering system and therefore doesn't really care
about "*****".

         Just to be safe, I usually start off with a pdb file that has the
correct numbering i.e. atom 100000 and above. After a simulation, I got
pdb files with "*****", but NAMD didn't complain. So I suppose everything
is fine!

         Hope this helps.
