[AMBER] Iron in CHAMBER: chemicalSymbolToZ() cannot map symbol: FE, to a Z value

Hi all,

I'm converting my iron containing system from charmm type input files
to amber type using CHAMBER and I came across the following error:

chemicalSymbolToZ() cannot map symbol: FE, to a Z value

I found the cause of the problem. In the source code (file
$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/chamber/psfprm.f) there is a list of
chemical symbols and corresponding Z values which doesn't contain an
entry for FE.

I don't know the purpose of mapping chemical symbols to Z values. Is
an acceptable solution to simply add an entry for FE in the source
code and then recompile AmberTools?

Thanks in advance for you help,

Patrick
