Dear fellow amber users,
I`am trying to run a nmr refinement in amber 6 of a oligonucleotide in explicit 
water
using Example 3 in the amber 6 manual as a guide line. First I load my DNA in to
xleap and add counter ions and water so that I can create amber topology
and coordinate files. Then I want to carry out a minimization, optimizing just 
the waters 
and counterions, and keeping the solute fixed.
Here is the input file:
Initial min w/ position restraints on DNA
&cntrl	
                                                                
    imin=1,
    ncyc=50, maxcyc=1000, 
    nmropt=1,		    
    ntc=2, tol=0.000001,    
    cut=9.0,		     
    ntpr=100,		    
    ntb=1,		   
    ntr=1,	
 &end	
 &wt type='REST', istep1=0,istep2=1000,value1=1.0,
             value2=1.0,  &end						
          
 &wt type='END'  &end								
LISTOUT=POUT									
DISANG=RST							  
Group input for restrained atoms	  
  10.0									
          
RES 1 20								
          
END									
          
END		
This is just the same file as in example 3 in the amber 6 manual.
The sander commands:
snader -O -i min_wat_ion.in -o min_wat_ion.out -c gc.inpcrd -p gc.prmtop -r 
min_wat_ion.restrt
Here is the output:

>From this it seems like it is something wrong with the restraint file (RST), 
but I have tested with different restraint files and still I get the same error 
message. So I don`t think there is anything wrong with that file. Does any one 
know what I`am doing wrong? 
Thank you very much.
