For the thing you want to do servers are useless. You have to look at the
tutorials in the Rosetta bundle as well as the Rosettacommons docs &
forums. This task requires a lot of reading a preparation.

BTW could someone tell me whether it possible to check in the ambler's amd

## the amd.log file consists of the following lines:
Col1 col2 EPtot DIHED fwgt*EPtot fwgt*DIHED dV_EPtot dV_DIHED
# EPtot is the total potential energy (without the boost)
# DIHED is the total dihedral energy (without the boost)
# fwgt*EPtot factor by which total forces are scaled
# fwgt*DIHED factor by which dihedral forces are scaled
# dV_EPtot energy added by AMD to the total potential energy
# dV_DIHED energy added by AMD to the dihedral energies
