Dear all,

In the old version of the Amber tutorial, there is the
following plc.frcmod:

---------------

X -CT-SH-X 3 1.000 0.000 3.000

NONBON
CU 2.20 0.200
-----------------

There is something I do not understanding:

1.
BOND
NB-CU 70.000 2.05000 #kludge by JRS

What is the meaning of 70.000? And what is the meaning
of 2.05000?

2.
ANGLE
CU-NB-CV 50.000 126.700 #JRS estimate
Does CU-NB-CV means the bond formed by CU, NB,CV with
CU and CV at each side of NB?

What is the meaning of 50.000? And what is the meaning
of 126.700?

3.

DIHE
X -NB-CU-X 1 0.000 180.000 3.000
What will be the definition of X? What is the
definition of -NB-CU-X? What is the meaning of
1,0.000, 180.000,3.000 separately?

4.
NONBON
CU 2.20 0.200
I think NONBON should mean nonbounded, then what is
the definition of 2.20 and 0.200 separately?

I am looking forward to getting your reply.

Best regards.
