[phenixbb] omit map for protein-DNA complex

Hi guys,
With the help of Tom and Nat, I fixed the errors in my pdb file and could
generate the simulated annealing omit map for the protein-DNA complex
structure!
But when I opened resolve_composite_map.mtz and *_ed.pdb in Coot, I could
only see one monomer of the protein in Coot. It should be two dimers of the
protein plus two pieces of DNA. And when I opened the *_ed.pdb in pymol, it
showed the right thing: two dimers of the protein plus two pieces of DNA.
It seems that something in  *_ed.pdb file is not recognized by Coot.  I
don't know whether any of you had this before and would have any
suggestions for me.
When I opened *_ed. pdb with text file and found out that the word "break"
is used instead of "ter" between different chains, so I replaced all
"break" with "ter", but this didn't help....
Thank you so much!

Best,
Wei
