The main problem is that CHARMM is now using extened atom types with up to
8 characters, e.g.:
7295 MANN 1 AMAN C1 CC3162 0.340000
If I force CHARMM to write normal PSF without EXT than the atom type is
truncated and this might cause other problems. I need to post a message to
the NAMD mailing list and ask whether NAMD can handle extended atom types.
Otherwise, I will have to manually rename the atom types in the topology
and parameter files.
