[AMBER] ptraj: box information for truncated octahedron

Hi,

I have a system with a truncated octahedron as my solvent box. Accordingly,
the last line of my restart file reads something like
27.141 27.141, 27.141 109.471... 109.471... 109.471

Now I noticed that when I use ptraj (Ambertools 1.4), the information that it
is a octahedral box seems to get lost when I use the commands
trajin input.crd
trajout output.crd restart

Then my last line in the generated restart file only has the x, y, z
dimensions of the box, but not the angles.

1) is this a problem? I would guess yes, as - if I understood the
documentation correctly - the box dimensions are taken exclusively from the
restart file.
2) I guess I could use the box command in ptraj to fix this - but I'd
rather have the box information (size *plus* shape) carried over to the
output file automatically. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks,
Th.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards,
