Did you carefully check the format of your file compared to the
format listed on the amber web page? I asked this before but you didn't
reply. Also, if it is a periodic simulation, make sure to choose "AMBER PBC"
as the trajectory file format (it should describe this in more detail in
the moil-view
manual).
