I know that you can do that from WITHIN the MIDAS-PLUS molecular
graphics package. There is an option you can turn on and it
will output an extended PDB file including ALL the CONECT records.
I do not know how to do that otherwise.

MIDAS-PLUS runs on Silicon Graphics computers and costs only about
$350 to a non-profit organization. I seem to recall that they use
this program also at PDB in Brookhaven.

Hope this is a start!...
