Thank you so much, Brian.

The values should be at the end of crd files.

Best,
Ren

Hi Ren,

The values are in the crd and rst file, as well as the prmtop file
(although I don't believe these are used anymore?). Check out the AMBER
file formats page:

http://ambermd.org/formats.html

If there is a box it's parameters will be the format "a b c alpha beta
gamma".

Regards,
Brian
