Hello,

there seems to be a small problem in the OpenDX-file-writing-feature of
pbsa in AmberTools 12. If the number of grid points is not an integer
multiple of 3, a missing newline character in the footer of the file
violates the format specification. These are the last few lines of a
problematic DX file written by pbsa:

    1.3079431969E+01 1.2508119413E+01 1.1935395284E+01
    1.1363278074E+01 1.0795899087E+01 1.0246391314E+01
    9.7028066689E+00 9.1626945187E+00 8.6272002140E+00
    8.1016960668E+00 attribute "dep" string "positions"
  object "Electrostatic Potential" class field
  component "positions" value 1
  component "connections" value 2
  component "data" value 3

There has to be a newline character before "attribute", according to
http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/file-formats/mesh-and-data-formats/opendx-scalar-data

VMD emits an error on attempting to load such a file. With the newline
character, VMD loads the file properly.
