Insight: archive file number ??

[Benny Lo]

Dear All,

When I tried to use the command "archive" in Discover input files,
I enountered the following problem:

I wanted to write a series of .arc files during an MD run and I placed
the following commands in the input file:

archive file number 1 ["file1.arc"]
....
archive file number 2 ["file2.arc"]
....
archive file number 3 ["file3.arc"]
.... and so on.

However, I found that only file1.arc is ok and the other files are not
recognized as archive files in Viewer. In addition, several amino acid
residues in the model are replaced by individual "crosses" at the alpha
carbons, rather than joined up atoms.

When I then changed the figure after "archive file number" to 1 in all
the cases and conserving the different file names, i.e. file1,
file2....etc., they all turned out to be ok.

Does anyone know why? What's the significance of the figure after
"archive file number". I couldn't find this in the extremely brief
Discover manual.

Any help will be appreciated. THanks.

Rgds
Benny.
