[Chimera-users] error parsing ATOM record when coordinate long-ish

Dear all,

I can't read a particular atom line that looks like:

ATOM      4  CA  GLY A   4    -32.686-186.362  -1.715  1.00 20.00
    C

I presume that the reason is that the y-coordinate forms a continuous
string with the x-coordinate. However, this line complies with the PDB
format; I quote from the RCBS site:

39 - 46      Real(8.3)        y          Orthogonal coordinates for Y in
                                         Angstroms

I realize that this may be seldom a problem, but I think it should be
tackled. In my case, this is a dummy atom to represent a dipole moment
vector with quite a big magnitude.

I have the same problem in the last and the previous snapshot versions
of chimera (both in linux and MacOSX)

Thank you in advance,



Miguel
