Thank you very much for your help. I did pose the same question to lammps users 
list. The reply was to use to use topo tools and moltemplate. But I like the 
GUI of avagadro compared to other gui's such as jmol. Coming to the problem. I 
am actually simulating an epoxy in lammps. I would want to generate a lammps 
data file for this rather having me to do the grunt work in editing the output 
from an xyz or pdb file from any molecular viewers. 

Thanks
Arun
