Hi,

It sounds like we need to come up with a way of identifying the two
atoms in a consistent way.  Do you know how is this done in other
programs?  For example in NMRDev
(http://magcid.uvigo.es/~armando/nmrdev/)?  Or in other organic
chemistry software.  I have a feeling we will have to come up with a
way of naming the atoms.  We cannot use the atom number as these are
sequential from the file and a number is only allowed to be used once.
 Normally the atoms are differentiated using atom names such as H1 and
H2.  Should we attempt to determine connectivities and rename the
atoms?  Essentially there is no atom name in the XYZ file, it is more
the element type.  I think we need to study other software to see how
this is handled.  We can then document what they do in an post to the
mailing list, and decide what the best way to do this in relax would
be.  What do you think?

Regards,

Edward


P. S.  I may not be able to answer emails for a while as I'll soon be
catching the train to Goettingen.  I could answer questions tonight.
