Subject: AMBER: sander_classic for cap simulations?

Dear amber users,

I recently posted a message about the large fuctuations of the
electrostatic energy observed with a system with a solvent cap and
sander of amber8 with a non-infinite non-bonded cutoff.

After a reply from Ben Cossins I used sander_classic (of amber6) for the
same simulations in order to make use of a residue based instead of an
atom based non-bonded cutoff. The fluctuations are much smaller and the
system seems to equilibrate. The performance with a 12A cutoff is
~250ps/day which is about 4 times the performance for the corresponding
periodic system :-)

Is it possible to use a residue based cutoff with sander of amber8?
Or is the usage of sander_classic for simulations with a cap still the
way to go?
If so, should sander_classic not be part of the amber8 distribution?

Best,
Oliver
