Hi Matias,

Thanks for the correction- I had forgotten to attach the unmodded version
of the frcmod, but it turned out the problem wasn't in the frcmod itself,
but an issue with the connectivity in the lib file. Which may be why it was
managing to read and only getting stuck on the write step.

For self-reference and in case anyone else runs into this issue, the issue
was in the connect array- it was reading orginally as

!entry.IC.unit.connect array int
> 1
> 32
> ...
> !entry.IC.unit.residueconnect table int c1x int c2x int c3x int c4x
> int c5x int c6x
> 1 32 0 0 0 0

Since I was using the format for an internal nucleotide (eventual end
point) but since at this stage since it's still a nucleoside, it needed to
be in the nucleoside format since it isn't connected to anything yet-

!entry.IC.unit.connect array int

Best,

Kenneth

Ask yourselves, all of you, what power would hell have if those imprisoned
here could not dream of heaven?
