  The Brookhaven Protein Data Bank stores atomic coordinate information
  for protein structures in a column based format.  This is designed to
  be read easily read by FORTRAN programs.  Indeed, if you get the
  format description (from anonymous ftp to ftp.pdb.bnl.gov, the file
  /pub/format.desc.ps) they show the single input line needed to read
  each record type.
  However, I am a C/C++ programmer in the Unix environment.  It is a
  easier for me to deal with field based input than column based ones.
  If the fields are white space delimited I can easily use awk and perl
  to manipulate the coordinate information.  So I needed some way to
  convert the ATOM and HETATM records of PDB files from the standard
  column based format to a field based one and back again.  It needed
  to denote missing fields if they exist.
  That converter is `pdbcat'.
