Hi Stuart,

I've just copied over the new run I've just done into the trajectories
directory (with the name P450.) and run the top file through the new-to-old
converter, and originally named them P450_new.top and P450_old.top.
In the amber manual it does state that the format described is the 'old'
i.e. pre-amber7 format.
