Re: catdcd-generated files and CHARMM

I've found that the best way to deal with these issues is to use the merge
command from charmm itself, instead of using catdcd,
and I haven't had any problems since then... BTW, I also 1) make the psf
(xplor format) with charmm, then 2) run the simulation with
namd, and 3) go back to charmm to analysis, but I don't know if the first
step would make any difference in the third one.
So far, this approach has worked for me.
