[ccp4bb] Does any software use non-TRIPOS sections in mol2 files

2012-04-18 Thread Thomas Womack
Is it safe to assume that the section headers in mol2 files are all @TRIPOSsomething or is all that's guaranteed the initial @? http://tripos.com/data/support/mol2.pdf has everything TRIPOS, but that's defining the 'Tripos Mol2 File Format' and I don't know if someone else has defined a
