I have been using a program called Curves for analyzing nucleic acid crystal structures for quite a while and I have always used Chimera to visualize the output pdb. One file shows the backbone splines and the vectors defining the nucleic acid groove widths (r+bdna_b.pdb) and the other file shows the nucleic acid helical axis (r+bdna_X.pdb). Chimera has always been able to read both of these files until the recent production release where it is no longer able to read the r+bdna_b.pdb file. I have attached the two files and the actual DNA pdb file. Can you please help me fix the problem with reading the r+bdna_b.pdb file in the new production release?

Thanks,

Dave
