Thanks a lot!
Now it works. I think I made a mistake when I load the
file.
Except load "prepin & frcmod" files, I also "loadoff
UAL.lib", I think I should not load this libaray file.

For the "TER" card, I don't know why it generate it,
maybe because I build undecyl first, then I made the
seqence of undecyl-ala-leu, so the program think they
are two different molecules.
Regards,
Ping
