Hi,

1) In general it is considered bad etiquette to use an existing email
thread for an unrelated problem, not to mention confusing and
unhelpful for other users who may encounter your issues in the future.

2) While posting screenshots can sometimes help in diagnosing your
problem, there is no substitute for listing the exact commands you
used, your exact input file, the actual output/error messages you
received, etc. In your case I can't even see the complete 'ambpdb'
command you used that generated the error message you see, so I can't
really help. And I guess the second picture is supposed to show that
the restart file was never generated?

3) Be patient. Most of the people on this list who answer Amber mail
are volunteers, meaning they often have other pressing obligations.
