Hi,
If you use PyRED at R.E.D. Server Dev. the format generated by default
for FF libraries is the mol3 file format; see:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/leap-mol3.php
in this format, the head/tail are automatically generated;
See
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDServer-Development/Documentation/
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDServer-Development/Documentation/Project.config
see the keyword MOLECULE1-MOL3HEAD = ON if you need to modify the default.
regards, Francois
