This will be meaningless since the pucker command is only currently built
for 5 member rings (only 5 masks of atoms are read). The code would need
to be updated. Also, six member rings tend to adopt chair/boat/twist...
See for example Boeyens J. Cryst. Mol. Struct. 8, 317 (1978). Also Zotov
et al. JCICS 37, 766 (1997). There is a WWW pictorial description at:

Google "pucker six-member ring" for more info, but note that ptraj cannot
at present calculate this (without code modification).
