Hi David

Thank you for replying.

Note that this not something we recommend or really support.


I guess my next question would be, what is the last AmberTools supported
for Amber16? After reading your reply, I moved to try to compile Amber16
with AmberTools18 (using gnu). I saw there is a similar question in the
mailing list but with no reply http://archive.ambermd.org/201806/0301.html
which makes me believe that it might also be unsupported. My insistence on
the issue is because the user is keen to maintain his workflow with Amber16
but be able to use some new features in CPPTRAJ available in AmberTools19
and 18.

Best regards
Jose
