Dear Thomas,

I looked at the sustiva mol2 file at:

As you can see the charges values of the two methylene carbons in the
cyclopropane are not made equivalent. Same remarks for the 4
corresponding hydrogens. The same problem appends with the three
fluorine atoms.

In a force field library chemically equivalent atoms should bear the
same charge values.

-> I ran a R.E.D. Server job to create a P2N file using Ante_R.E.D. 2.0;
See
http://cluster.q4md-forcefieldtools.org/~ucpublic1/ADF1ADFnhJllOncADFuQN0l7NwQYTIVV4yADFOBqiADF/P5625.html
  & the corresponding Java applet:
http://cluster.q4md-forcefieldtools.org/~ucpublic1/ADF1ADFnhJllOncADFuQN0l7NwQYTIVV4yADFOBqiADF/P5625/javaappletp2n-1.html

As you can see chemically equivalent atoms bear the same names.

-> Then, I ran a R.E.D. Server job to create a mol2 file using R.E.D. IV;

As you can charge values are correctly equivalenced, and quite different...
