Re: [AMBER] AMBER G09 RESP Calculation problem

So, it turns out that the g09 program I have access to has not been updated since, well 2009. So it is still on rev. A.02 which explains why I am not seeing the intended output. Hence, I have to revert to using the g03 syntax.

I wish all of you a fantastic rest of your day and my apologise for the interruption

However, before starting to change to much I decided to just run the default first and see what happens.
