I am confused: neither of your examples sets up a periodic simulation, as far
as I can see. What exactly do you mean by the "volume of the box" being
different? In both of your examples, the coordinates in the prmcrd file
should just be whatever was in the pdb file that you loaded: LEaP is not doing
anything with these coordinates.
