Dear all,
As I wrote before, I've found that parmchk treat impropers
incorrectly: in frcmod some impropers were missing, others were
written with central atom standing on the first position instead of
the third one. Since I've received no response neither from the mail
list nor from the author of the program (dr. Wang), I've had to fix
this problem myself :(. Finally I've done this :) and I'm attaching
now the bugfix for parmchk.c. May be it will be helpful to someone
else also.
Best regards,
Katya
