Subject: AMBER: Force field modification problem

Greetings all,
I've noticed one strange problem when I tried to replace
the current force field parameters. I'd like to simulate a
RNA(single strand)-ligand complex, and I defined only a new atom
type called OT(as OH behaves) on O3' in the tail of my single
strand RNA ribose in order to reproduce, such as OH-CT-CT-OH
defined in parm98. This is because my ligand(mainly carbohydrates)
contains many OH and I prefer to use Glycam force field on my ligand.

However, I can't obtain the same 'RNA_only' topology file after such
modification(AMBER8/tleap). Thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
sychen.
