You can use the "AC" option to the nonbonded parameter list to turn on the
mixing rules that OPLS uses. Note (a) the parameters are the coefficients
of the r**-12 and r**-6 terms, not r and epslion (see opls_parm.dat for a
very old example); (b) you should certainly carefully test the resulting
prmtop file for simple examples, since this option is rarely used or
tested.
