Yes: the sorts of errors you show (included below) are typical for the
antechamber test suite. They are not literally just "roundoff", but
reflect the fact that an AM1 geometry opimization is being done prior to
getting the charges. The optimization stops at slightly different places
on different machines, leading to some variance in charges.

It looks like your charge differences are all less than 0.005 electron, and
this is entirely acceptable. You should pay attention to differences that
are greater than about 0.01 electron.

...thanks for your comments...good luck...dac
