Subject: Re: [AMBER] GLYCAM: warnings by writing topology

Hi Francois,

I checked, what happens if I download only leaprc.GLYCAN_06 as a source
file. I don't have any warnings then. How should I use then
leaprc.ff03 and leaprc.GLYCAN_06 simultenuously not to get into
troubles? It looks like CG atom type is not properly understood when
topology is being written.

Thank you,

Sergey
