Dear Amber Users,

In the general topolgy file format for amber topology file, evertything is
clear except the %FLAG NONBONDED_PARM_INDEX.

I dont understand how indexing is done for Nonbonded terms which uses the
following relation:

 index = ICO(NTYPES*(IAC(i)-1)+IAC(j))

For understanding purpose i made a topology file for single water molecule,
but i could not understand the nonbonded index term that from where the
values 1, -1, -1, 3 came and what is its meaning.

%FLAG NONBONDED_PARM_INDEX

%FORMAT(10I8)

       1 -1 -1 3

I have attached the topology file of single water molecule.
