Hi Arik,

Writing the PDB will most likely get rid of the box information I think.
Why not trajout individual restart files instead of pdbs? Is there a reason
you save a slew of PDB files? If you trajout directly to restart files I
think it should save the box info.

Your inpcrd file has lost its formatting in the email. Is there a line with
box information (3 numbers) at the very end? Make sure these are not
coordinates. You can check how many lines there should be just based on the
number of atoms in your system and given the fact that each atom has 3
coordinates.

Good luck!
Jason
