Sorry, I don't ever use the "new syntax"; Ross or somebody who does
routinely can probably more reliably do this for you... - Regards - Bob

Hi Bob,
thanks a lot for this good news !

Could you please ( if it is not so time consuming ) rewrite
this two lines using so called "old mask syntax" ?
(Is this "old mask syntax" described in detail somewhere ?)

---------------------------

ibelly = 1,
bellymask=':LGM,WAT',

--------------------------

I assume, that probably only this part: ':LGM,WAT' should be changed
somehow.

Ross pointed out that the conversion could be done with AMBMASK tool, but
after
short look in Amber10 manual it is not clear to me, how to use it for our
simple purpose.
If I understood well AMBMASK is flexible tool to dump some selected atoms,
residui to
some output file and not just a simple tool for conversion of the mask
syntax from
actual to old, but probably it could be used this way as Ross mentioned it
in this connection,
but would be better to see practical example, how to do this particular
AMBMASK task.


Thank you in advance for any additional comments !

    Best

      Marek
