Dear Dilraj,

If you read the LEaP script in the F-90 R.E.DD.B. project, the 'OS'
atom type is used.
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-90/script1.ff

However, this is highly related to recomputing or not recomputing new
FF parameters and defining a new atom type...

In F-90 GAFF is not used, but Amber99SB is used...
('os' in GAFF = 'OS' in Amber99SB)

regards, Francois
