I'll take a look at this: it's pretty trivial to change the
makeDIP_RST.protein, etc. scripts. Not sure why they didn't get updated with
the ones used to create the files in the test directory.

I think you are misreading the namelist input, e.g.:

 &align
   ndip=66, dcut=-1.0, dwt=66*0.1,
   gigj = 50*7.847, 8*-3.163, 8*7.847,
   s11=-14.357, s22=-18.844, s12=1.286, s13=-29.811, s23=-44.361,
   id(1)=9, jd(1)=10, dobsl(1)= 4.39, dobsu(1)= 4.39,
   id(2)=42, jd(2)=43, dobsl(2)= 9.81, dobsu(2)= 9.81,

Here "dwt" is an array, with 66 elements, each equal to 0.1; gigj is also
a 66-member array: the first 50 values are 7.847 (meaning that the first 50
entries are C-H dipolar couplings), etc. It is *not* the case
that dwt is a single value of 6.6.

Hope the above helps: each peak (numbered 1-66 in this example) has associated
with it values of dwt, gigj, id, jd, dobsl and dobsu.

The nuclear "g" factors are g_N, and are dimensionless. beta_N is the nuclear
Bohr magneton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_magneton).

...good luck....dac
