I wrote a simple Perl script that inserts the coordinate data from the
LAMMPS dump file into an already existing PDB file. It works for both
LAMMPS 2001 and the newer version. I create the initial polymer systems
with code that writes out PDB, PSF, and DAT files. This PDB file is the
one I use as a shell for the dump data. I can provide the Perl script
if you want, but it is pretty basic.
