Chris,

I just updated the tutorial to underline your problem...

Moreover, in your case use Ante_R.E.D. 2.0 to generate the P2N file
for the dipeptide. It looks like you used Ante_R.E.D. 1.x and then it
was manually modified... (This type of modification lead often to
problems: the atom order is not anymore in agreement with the atom
connectivities...)

regards, Francois
