The list does not accept attachments.  If Gromacs is interpreting "LIG" as "LI" 
then the .pdb file is formatted incorrectly - at least one column is shifted, 
which will lead to misinterpretation of all of the contents.  If you want to add 
a new residue in the .rtp file, refer to the manual, section 5.6.1, in 
conjunction with implementation details at:
