because you apparently use a much newer version of amber than
what the person used that wrote the molfile plugin for it. amber keeps
occasionally changing its formats, but they are not always easy to
detect automatically, and also somebody has to step up and actually
make the changes to the code. you are most welcome to be that
person to make sure molfile supports amber 12 as well.
cheers,
axel.
