Quite correct, but you missed my point.  Notice that there are two multiterm
dihedrals for the *same* dihedral! But read on...
The comments may contain the answer:  In both parm94.dat and parm96.dat, we
have the following entries, which are missing in parm99.dat.
parm94.dat and parm96.dat
CT-CT-N -C    1    0.50        180.0            -4.
CT-CT-N -C    1    0.15        180.0            -3.
CT-CT-N -C    1    0.53          0.0             1.
parm99.dat:
C -CT-N -C    1    0.50        180.0            -4.
C -CT-N -C    1    0.15        180.0            -3.
C -CT-N -C    1    0.53          0.0             1.
This looks like a TYPE.  "CT-CT-N -C " got changed to a "C -CT-N -C " in
parm99.dat, and we ended up with duplicated and missing (wildcard fallback)
peptide dihedrals!  This looks to me like a major typo, one that may cast a
shadow on any simulations previously run with parm99.dat.  Jim or others,
please confirm.  Is this a real error?
