('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) After changing the MAXATOM in define.h, it still crashes at the same atom
number 512. Do I need to recompile it, retest it, or do anything else to
it? Or is there some other value I need to change too? Thanks,

Armin

For the antechamber in amber7, you may change the MAXATOM in define.h to
extend the array sizes. The latest version of antechamber in amber8 can
automatically extend the array sizes and should greatly reduce the crashes.
However, it is still recommended not to try very large molecules, such as
molecules having more than 1000 atoms . In the latest version of
antechamber, a function is called to check the atom name duplication.

Thanks

Atom names within a residue must be unique; you cannot just label things
"N", "C", "H", etc. Also, while I don't know the upper limit of atoms,
513 is probably too many. Antechamber was designed to be used for
relatively
small molecules. [Still, it should not crash.....]

We will look into this sort of problem, to see if we can reproduce and fix
it.

..thanks...dac
