I just answered to your last email. I will not be able to read my email very
often until beginning of september...

To use gaussian 94 ouput : see the bug 1 report.

Several thing:
- The atom order in your starting PDB file and QM output must be THE SAME
- Your QM ouput must contains three set of words:
1) 'Normal termination of Gaussian' at the end
2) 'Stationary point found' located BEFORE a
3) 'Standard orientation'
I know sometimes the 'Standard orientation' is not printed in the gaussian
ouput... In this case, use the .chk file to run a single point to re-generate
an optimized 'Standard orientation'. Add the words 'Stationary point found'
located before this 'Standard orientation' and it should be OK...

PS
Before using R.E.D. on your molecule, read the manual in detail and try to get
charges using a small molecule reported in the tutorial. EtOH is a good example
because very simple. Once you did a lot of tests and learnt how to use R.E.D.
with EtOH or MeNH2 then use your molecule...
