For amber6, you need to set ntx=7 to force it to read the box size from
the input coordinates. This latter step is always done in amber7, so
either ntx=5 or 7 will work; (in amber7 the ntx=7 option is there only for
backwards compatiabilty with earlier scripts...ntx=5 and ntx=7 are actually
the same internally).

...good luck...dac
