Re: [AMBER] addles "old coordinate file not specified"

Yes, that is what I would like. I have a specific geometry for the 60dimers
that I can split into 60 dimer .mol2 files and I was then hoping I could use
addles to stitch back together one .prmtop and one .inpcrd. The dimers have
long range order like a crystal lattice. If addles is not suitable and if
anyone knows of an alternative, that would be much appreciated.

With thanks,
Jenny

I don't think addles will do this. It sounds like you want a tool that can
build higher-order structures, but it still isn't clear if you are looking
for a specific geometry for the 60 molecules, such as a crystal lattice.
