Re: CCL:question about the output file babel



 I've observed the same thing for other conversions to PDB using various
 versions of Babel, in that most of the identifying info is lost, esp.
 atom and residue name.  I've stopped using Babel, largely for this
 reason.  It was easier to write a quick conversion program specific to
 the task at hand.
