Re: Analysis of NAMD output with CHARMM

Hi,

if you have a linux machine, Nedit is probably installed by default. It
is a text editor that allows you to work easily on columns.

If this does not work, you should try to make Charmm read your pdb file
using:

-----------
open unit 1 card read name "myfile.pdb"
read sequ pdb unit 1
close unit 1

! read in pdb coordinate file
open unit 1 form read name "../coor/pr3.pdb"
read coor pdb unit 1
close unit 1

print coor
-------

Just to make sure the error comes from the PDB.
