[Chimera-users] saving attribute to file

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Scott,

The two Chimera experts on this topic are on vacation back the end of 
next week.  I don't know what controls the order of atoms in a saved 
attribute file.  It is possible that it is random.  It is quite possible 
that you have no control over it.  Your suggestion to have a sensible 
order is reasonable.
