Hi Ross,

OK, we will work on that.
Give us a little time as we are in the process of releasing R.E.D. Server...

I 100 % agree.

The starting point would be a "classical" way, i.e. as it was done in
the building of the AMBER FF topo. DB (Cieplak et al. JCC, 1995) -
because (i) we are talking about "AMBER", & (ii) nobody did better so
far (also describing some limitations/problems encountered in this
work) & then in a second step provide directions to
modified/complexified approaches to solve those limitations/problems.

I have already discussed twice with Dr Case about this point.
We need more time here, and I do not have his huge experience.
Finally, as I said to Dr Dodson, AmberTools did not become GNU in one day.

I will contact you to your private email.
