​You're right, this is a problem. It was actually a known problem and was
fixed shortly before Amber 14 was released, but unfortunately the fix never
made its way into the version of the code that wound up getting released.
Romain asked me to release an update to back-port the fix to Amber 14 about
2 months ago, but I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.

I've made the fix and added the update to the website.

​Please try to re-configure Amber 14 in serial and recompile it. pdb4amber
should then work (as in, 10A becomes residue 11 and the remaining residues
get incremented. As Dave said, Amber is limited to considering residues
numbered sequentially starting from 1).

HTH,
Jason
