Andrew,
This frcmod file should only contains vdW parameters:
This takes 3 sec to do it by hands.
When you do all automatically, you do not understand what you do...
You just need to find these vdW parameters in the required paper:
See
http://ambermd.org/Questions/mail/64.html
See
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Help/Andrew/tleap.cmd
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Help/Andrew/frcmod.zinc
replace xxxx yyyy by the Zinc vdW parameters...
regards, Francois
