When using the GAFF, either not included, -at gaff, or -at GAFF, the
frcmod output file did not include all the atoms, bonds, or information
needed. It was just left blank. I am not sure why it did this, however,
the problem still lies in finding the relationship of:

CZ - P - NT or c1 - p5 - n3, still looking for force numbers

(the input file is the same, with the code,
antechamber -i tabun_2_A02.pdb -fi pdb -o TAB.prepi -fo prepi -at GAFF
-rn TAB -c bcc&
(also -at gaff and nothing)
