Hi Eugene, would you update the documentation? A canonical 'man superpose' produces
superpose foo_1st.pdb [-s CID1] foo_2nd.pdb [-s CID2] [ foo_out.pdb ] where [-s CID1/2] are optional selection strings in [1]MMDB convention, and [foo_out.pdb] is an optional output file. i.e. the syntax Lijun Liu used.
