Thanks David,

You're right, it's from Leap, but I mixed things because now in Sleap,
'antechamber' is called automatically (set default fastbld on).
Anyway, I maybe still need something more robust. It's because I have a DB
with almost 9000 ligands and acpypi/antechamber/mopac worked for ~75%, but I
have several inputs there that doesn't have a good initial structure or
Corina didn't do a good job.

Alan.
