[gmx-developers] Case sensetive Moleculetypes

[Alexey Shvetsov]

Hi!

Is it intentional to have case insensetive moleculetypes?

Use case where case sensetive types needed is for example system created 
from pdb file that has more then 23+ chains. PDB format allows to use 
both uppercase and lowercase letters for chain names. So if you for 
example has protein chain 'a' and protein chain 'A' then grompp will 
fail with error about redefinition of molecule type. Patch uploaded to 
gerrit.
