Currently, genLingand is only useful for the case of a completely
rigid ligand. For flexible ligands PRODRG or another source of .top
and .par files is required.

Initially you can choose either separate, or combined PSFs, but in
the long run a single PSF is usually most convenient.

Please let us know if you have further questions.
