I assume you're referring to paratool? You should give fftk a try:

Note that it's still under development, but a new, more complete release
should be out soon. It requires access to Gaussian, but handles the setup
and analysis of the files.

Subject: namd-l: Force field Parametrization
Hello all,
I'd like to include an inhibitor in my namd simulation. I see vmd has a tool
to create the parameter file needed, although everything must be entered
manually (and then you hope you haven't made a mistake). I've seen the
Spartan tutorial which is nice but that's not free software. The antechamber
requires Gaussian (and thus learning how to use Gaussian). Does anyone have
any experience generating a force field parameter file using free software
and what would be the simplest route for doing this? (I'm not expecting it
to be trivial, I just don't want to run a marathon if there is a shortcut).
I appreciate any help. I kow this isn't exactly namd specific but I need the
resultant file to be usable by namd and thus other methods which may be
automatic are not of use if namd can't use them as input.
thanks,
Eddie
