The .rtp and perhaps .hdb (if you need hydrogen reconstruction) are what you
likely need to modify.  If you need to introduce new atom types, then you'll
need to modify almost everything else, as well.  Unit conversion will depend on
what type of parameters you have and in what units.  See Chapter 2 of the manual
for required units.
