Dear Amber Users,
                            while using SCC-DFTB I am having some problem
in achieving convergence . Let me give you a brief introduction about my
system...............In my system the QM zone contains 129 atoms including
one ZN atom ( Link atoms are not taken into count ). Now before using
SCC-DFTB, I have used PM3 for equilibration and it ran smoothly. But in
SCC-DFTB , I am having convergence problem . After each step a lot of error
messages are coming out. It has taken around 2 days to complete three steps
. Can anybody suggest me any solution ? Here is the input file...
