Yes. I updated the prmtop specification recently (within the last year as I
recall). There's also a pointer in the POINTERS section, IFBOX, that is set
based on what kind of (if any) box exists. 0 for no box, 1 for orthogonal,
2 for non-orthogonal (like truncated octahedron).

The prmtop format doesn't change very much, and excluding the extraneous
CHARMM-specific sections written by chamber (and other sections added by
other programs, like addles, the HCP section, etc.), this is up-to-date
AFAIK.

HTH,
Jason
