Anton,

Thank you for the replies.

Yes, I know about and have been using the PRODRG server program.

Yes, it specifies between which ones the bonds, angles etc are.

Ahhh, OK.  Sorry I was under the impression that it inserted all of those 
values into the .top file.  So the software calls up the ff*bon.itp file as 
required for how the angels, bond constants etc should be?

>Atom names are simply labels; you can chose whatever you want.

That is good to know.  I just noticed that in the .rtp files supplied that 
some use on convention of letters and others numbers.

I picked that up from the manual and will be looking at that as I add 
further residues etc.

Thank you for your assistance.  It is much appreciated.
