Dear Weikuo,

You computed a MEP using MP2/6-31G*; this is not what should be used
for the Amber additive FF.

I always try to help when I can...

I am not an Antechember developer and I do _not_ support this code; So
please send such a request in the Amber mailing list and not as a
Private assistance of R.E.D. Server...

-99 and -1 mean the same in a RESP input.

a RESP charge fit is performed in two steps; see:
