Could I ask you if you could possibly be a bit more specific on what I
should be looking for, please? I have scoured the VMD user's guide, but
have found precious little about splitting files for preparation for NAMD.
Would there be some extra tutorial about splitting files and handling ATOM
and HETATM in pdb files, please?

Thank you very much!
