+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'.
