 In my case, I use NRT to calculate the bond order of a compound named
 "XK2" in PDB complex "1HVR".
 http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ligand/ligandsummary.do?hetId=XK2&sid=1HVR
 ,
 It's always halted with the message "Too many resonance structures",
 no matter what I try the NRTTHR=0.5~50.
 Following is the output with G03: (When I change NRTTHR value, but
 "Maximum resonance structures" is always the same.)
  NATURAL RESONANCE THEORY ANALYSIS:
  Maximum reference structures :    20
  Maximum resonance structures :    47
  Memory requirements :    5743881 words of   5802280 available
  Warning: Low valence density detected in VALDM; Consider using NRTFDM option
  FATAL ERROR:  Too many resonance structures, MAXRES =    47.
  TOPSTR: Too many resonance structures.
  Error: NBHALT
 Could you have any suggestions to my problem? Thanks!
