Use "ambpdb" (manual, p. 355) to convert topology and coordinate files to
pdb format, which can be then be loaded into LEaP.

Note that LEaP is not a particularly good visualization program, especially
for any complicated molecule. Once you have a pdb-format file, there
are lots of free and non-free alternatives availalbe for visualization
and analysis. Use the -wrap option to ambpdb to create atom names closer
to the old Brookhaven pdb standard if you plan to use a program like
RasMol.

...good luck....dac
