Subject: antechamber charges don't sum up to zero

Dear colleagues,

I'm trying to prepare some neutral ligands with antechamber, using

"antechamber -c bcc -fi mol2 -fo prepi -i lig.mol2 -o lig.prep"

In some cases, the calculated atomic charges don't add up to exactly
zero but +/- 0.00[12]. Unfortunately this slight difference makes then
leap wronlgy estimate the number of ions necessary for neutralization.
Giving antechamber the option "-nc 0" didn't help.

Any ideas? (Other than hand-editing the resulting prep files ...)

Michael
