R.E.D. does not generate bond order information...

Indeed, a simple, double or a triple bond does not exist in an
empirical force field. In the Hooke's law
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law) a bond is represented by
its equilibrium value and a force field constant; the later is
'simply' different for a simple, double or a triple bond... Thus,
there is no need to define a bond order in this particular case
(Antechamber defines a bond order for some internal reasons (atom
typing?) and the choice has been been made to print it; I guess).

regards, Francois
