Re: AMBER: Question about Prep file

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Using the *.dat file does solve that, thank you. The reason I used the
*.bin file was the following entry in the comments section when clicking
Dr. Baaden's name in the Amber parameter database. I mistook this to mean
that the *.bin file is the input file. Maybe a note could be made to
avoid future confusion by others?

Hi Marc:

Actually, the basic Amber file formats have not changed since 4.1.
The original poster (ortiz) tried to feed the EU3+.bin file to LEaP, but
this is actually the *output* file from the old prep program, not its
input file. The input files needed are called PREPEU3+.DAT (and the
other *.DAT files you uploaded.) These are files that can be used as
input to prep, or to LEaP (using the loadAmberPrep command).

Thanks for contributing your parameters. I think if users know which files
are which, they won't have any problems, even with current versions of Amber.

....regards...dac
