Hi,
There's not an existing tool to do this, and I'm not sure that the
associated DCD file and NAMD console output contain enough information
to recreate the lost .xsc file. If the data in the .xsc was redundant
vs. what's the in DCD file, the .xsc file wouldn't be needed in the first
place.... This question is best asked on the NAMD-L list however, as
the details of your simulation probably matter and either
Jim or the other NAMD experts would know better than I do.
Cheers,
John Stone
