 No Attitude here. Just the opposite. I greatly appreciate the help.
Sorry if it didn't seem that way. I'm excited that I got 1 out of 6 of the parts I need
to make something happen.

Are you saying the page is organized in order? If so that's the main piece of information I needed.


for example in parm99.dat
C 12.01 0.616 ! sp2 C carbonyl group
CA 12.01 0.360 sp2 C pure aromatic (benzene)
CB 12.01 0.360 sp2 aromatic C, 5&6 membered ring junctio

transitions to

C H HO N NA NB NC N2 NT N2 N3 N* O OH OS P O2
OW-HW 553.0 0.9572 ! TIP3P water
HW-HW 553.0 1.5136 TIP3P water
C -C 310.0 1.525 Junmei et al, 1999

Didn't -3- get skipped.

Thanks again,

Dan

Here's what I'm looking at now.


  - 1 - ITITL

                        FORMAT(20A4)

         ITITL A title for identification of the parameter set.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------

         - 2 - ***** INPUT FOR ATOM SYMBOLS AND MASSES *****

                    KNDSYM , AMASS, ATPOL

                        FORMAT(A2,2X,F10.2x,f10.2)

         KNDSYM The unique atom symbol used in the system.

         AMASS Atomic mass of the center having the symbol "KNDSYM".

         ATPOL The atomic polarizability for each atom (in A**3)
                    This is the type of polarizability used in sander
                    and gibbs. No parameters are supplied for this since
                    the feature is still in development (Amber 4.1).

              NOTE: All the unique atomic symbols and their masses must
                    be read. The input is terminated by a blank card.


      ------------------------------------------------------------------------

         - 3 - ***** INPUT FOR ATOM SYMBOLS THAT ARE HYDROPHILIC *****

                    JSOLTY(I)

                         FORMAT(20(A2,2X))

         JSOLTY(I) The atom symbols which are hydrophilic in solution.
                    This information is read but not used.

                    The input is terminated when a blank value is read for
                    the atom symbol.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------

         - 4 - ***** INPUT FOR BOND LENGTH PARAMETERS *****

                    IBT , JBT , RK , REQ

                        FORMAT(A2,1X,A2,2F10.2)

         IBT,JBT Atom symbols for the two bonded atoms.

         RK The harmonic force constant for the bond "IBT"-"JBT".
                    The unit is kcal/mol/(A**2).

         REQ The equilibrium bond length for the above bond in angstroms

                    The input is terminated by a blank card.

If you read the rest of parm.dat format, you should be able to
figure this out.

The documentation says so.

I'm done, good luck with that attitude.
