Dear Holly:
If you want to generate the xyz file for TINKER to calculate a molecular
dynamics:
*first, you must create the molecule in hyperchem, gaussview, etc..., then
save it as protein data bank (*.pdb or *.ent).
*second you must run pdbxyz.exe included in the TINKER package via MS-DOS,
write the name of the file saved in the format *.pdb or *.ent and it will
create the file *.xyz
*third you must open the *.xyz with a word processing and assign manually
the force field atom type in the sixth column (after the cartesian
coordinates and before the connectivities), the place of the force
field atom type is filled with zeros by pdbxyz.exe.
