Re: problem with using patch LINK ...

Rasti,
If you look at what the patch actually does:
http://code.google.com/p/charmming/source/browse/trunk/head/charmming-private/toppar/top_all22_prot.rtf#1577
you might try "link U:5 U:1" instead. After you do this, open the psf
and see if there is a bond that corresponds to the link you are trying
to create (should be a pair of corresponding atom indices in the BONDS
section, hopefully at the end of it).
