Tinker is a set of small programs for doing general purpose molecular
-modeling. Tools are included for energy minimizations, geometry
-calculations, and molecular analysis calculations. Tools for converting
-coordinate sets are also provided.

-Tinker employs several force fields and minimizaation techniques.
-Simulated annealing and molecular dynamics can be performed with Tinker.
+This port sets the maxatm value to 2500 atoms. This should be
+sufficient for most molecular systems. Should you need to work with
+larger systems you can set the maxatm parameter in the sizes.i file
+located in the tinker/source directory and recompile. Note that if it
+is set too large that tinker programs will abort and core dump.
