Could you be specific about exactly which files you are comparing?

If I look for the Joung-Cheathm Na+ ions associated with SPCE water,
here is what I find:

1. In $AMBERHOME/dat/rism1d/mdl/c_SPCE/Na+.mdl:

%FLAG LJEPSILON
%FORMAT(5e16.8)
  3.52641800e-01
%FLAG LJSIGMA
%FORMAT(5e16.8)
  1.21200000e+00

2. In $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/parm/frcmod.ionsjc_spce:

  Na+ 1.212 0.3526418

These agree perfectly. If there are other pairs of files that seem to be in
disagreement, please let us know.

...thx...dac
