There *should* be no significant differences between amber5 and amber7, so
in principle this would work. However, if you have really only done 2ps(?)
of "production" run, that represents a very small investment, and I would
think you should start again using a single program. Amber 5 is a very old
program (we are now at version 9), and lots of bugs have been fixed, and
procedures optimized since then.
