Re: TIP4P water in AMBER parm7 format fails with 2010-06-07 nightly build

Hi Hugh,
My guess is that there's a difference between the way amber sets up the
waters and the way namd expects them, in terms of atom naming or order.
If you send me your (compressed) pdb and parm7 files I may be able to
find a quick fix.
Best,
Peter
