   This is a re-implementation of TM-align algorithm in C/C++. The code was 
   is written by Jianyi Yang and later updated by Jianjie Wu at The Yang Zhang

   *************** updating history ********************************
   2012/01/24: A C/C++ code of TM-align was constructed by Jianyi Yang
   2016/05/21: Several updates of this program were made by Jianjie Wu, including
              (1) fixed several compiling bugs
              (2) made I/O of C/C++ version consistent with the Fortran version
              (3) added outputs including full-atom and ligand structures
              (4) added options of '-i', '-I' and '-m'
   2016/05/25: fixed a bug on PDB file reading
   2018/06/04: Several updates were made by Chengxin Zhang, including
              (1) Fixed bug in reading PDB files with negative residue index,
                  at the expense of the '-o' option now only being able to
                  output superposed structure instead of full rasmol script.
              (2) Implemented by the '-fast' option the fTM-align algorithm
                  as described in Dong R, Pan S, Peng Z, Zhang Y, & Yang J
                  (2018) Nucleic acids research. gky430.
              (3) Included option to perform TM-align against a whole 
                  folder of PDB files. A full list of options not available
                  in the Fortran version can be explored by TMalign -h
