As noted, I'm using just the protonate.exe from Autodock. THis was in my
original two emails, and you suggested I ask on the Amber reflector

I'm not using Amber

Yes, it is empty.

The README for the PROTON_INFO.kollua_polH says it was written by David Case
and Garry Gippert. It is located in the \src\protonate directory.

Excerpt from README

dist_2.4/utils/protonate
------------------------

This is a utility written by David Case and Garry Gippert to add hydrogens
to a molecule.

Use '.kollua_polH' polar-Hydrogens for docking studies.
