Hi Julian,
Without looking back at the code, I don't have an answer which speaks
directly to your inquiry. However, I will say that all water models in NAMD
(including lone pair models) have specialized routines that often ignore
some or all of the LPHOST section of the PSF. Thus, while I suspect there
is a logical explanation for that format, it's also possible that it will
not exactly match the NAMD internals,which instead use heuristics based on
atom masses, etc.
HTH,
BKR
