So if I want to use amber topologies can you think of an "easy" method for
preparing the input files for QM/MM calculations?
Also even if I don't assign any kinds to mm atoms I get this error message:

*
 *** ERROR in read_atomic_kind (MODULE atomic_kind_types)  ***
 *


 *** No &KIND section was possible to associate to the atomic kind <O>.
***
 *** The KIND section were also scanned for the corresponding element <O>
***
 *** and for the DEFAULT section but no match was found. Check your input
***
 *** file!
***


 *** Program stopped at line number 1538 of MODULE atomic_kind_types  ***

 ===== Routine Calling Stack =====

            5 read_atomic_kind

            2 qmmm_create_force_env

Thanks
