LAMMPS pre- and post-processing tools

This directory contains several stand-alone tools for creating LAMMPS
input files and massaging LAMMPS output data.  Instructions on how to
use the tools are discussed in the "Additional Tools" section of the
LAMMPS documentation.

Tools that are single source files in this directory have additional
comments that may be useful at the top of the source file.  Tools that
reside in their own sub-directories have README files you should look
at.

These are the included tools:

amber2lammps	       python scripts for using AMBER to setup LAMMPS input
binary2txt	       convert a LAMMPS dump file from binary to ASCII text
ch2lmp		       convert CHARMM files to LAMMPS input
chain		       create a data file of bead-spring chains
data2xmovie	       convert a data file to a snapshot that xmovie can viz
lmp2arc		       convert LAMMPS output to Accelrys Insight format
lmp2cfg		       convert LAMMPS output to CFG files for AtomEye viz
lmp2traj	       convert LAMMPS output to contour, density profiles 
micelle2d	       create a data file of small lipid chains in solvent
msi2lmp		       use Accelrys Insight code to setup LAMMPS input
pymol_asphere	       convert LAMMPS output of ellipsoids to PyMol format
restart2data	       convert a binary restart file to an input data file
vim		       add-ons to VIM editor for editing LAMMPS input scripts
xmovie		       a quick/simple viz package (2d projections of 3d)

For tools that are single C, C++, or Fortran files, a Makefile for
building them is included in this directory.  You may need to edit it
for the compilers and paths on your system.

For tools in their own sub-directories, see their README file for info
on how to build and use it.
