No need for that, I don't think. Outside of the one issue I mentioned
above, the topology files are identical to the post-14-scaling-version of
tleap from AT1.5. There should be a way of determining which dihedrals are
impropers (and subsequent terms of a normal dihedral) and just set those to
0 without having to revert all of your changes.

Thanks!
