Hi all,

I've been struggling to use the pbc tools plugin on a system I'm trying
to analyse. I want to center the view on "index 1471", but the command

pbc wrap -center "index 1471"

is either producing strange results or naught. This occurs for
vmd.1.8.6 or the latest alpha(as of today).

The file is problem.xyz.bz2 uploaded to biocore. It contains the cell
parameters in the second line, which I was setting with

pbc set { 26.92 31.08 59.30 }

originally the file was a dlpoly_history2 file that after experiencing
similar problems, I converted to xyz...if that can make any odds.
,
cheers,

Matt
