Francois,

Sorry, Those were the cases I tried (from the tutorial).

They work as long as I change the name of my file to INPUT. It won't recognize the variable "INPUT" even when I define it in system variables. I think the problem is that simply the files cannot be recognized due to issues establishing variables (which seems to be a major issue with CYGWIN). Is there a way to manually perform the process: by that I mean determine the fields directly through PCGAMESS and then have them convert them to .mol2 files to be used with AMBER?

Mike
