-<B>How can I get GROMACS and how much does it cost?</B><br><br>
-You can download it immediately from this website, and it won't cost
-you a penny! GROMACS is free software, licensed under the GNU General
-Public License. The details are available in the
-<A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">license text</a>, but
-in short you can modify and redistribute the code as long as your
-version is licensed under the GPL too. <br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="systemsupported">
-<B>Is my system supported?</B><br><br>
-GROMACS is a recursive acronym for "GROMACS Runs On Most Of All Computer Systems" :-)<br>
-Since we use GNU automatic configuration scripts you should in principle
-be able to compile GROMACS on any UNIX dialect, probably including Mac OS X.
-Contact us if you have any problems. At least Solaris, IRIX, Linux (both x86 and alpha),
-Tru64/Digital Unix, and AIX should be virtually problem-free. An ANSI C compiler
-is sufficient to compile GROMACS, but we definitely recommend a good Fortran 77
-compiler too (performance-critical routines are available in fortran versions). You
-won't need Fortran on Linux/x86 where we provide even faster assembly loops!<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="binaries">
-<B>Can't you provide binaries for my system?</B><br><br>
-The problem is that we want the highest possible performance, and to achieve this
-it is necessary to adapt compiler flags to your processor type. We also use special
-mathematic libraries from several hardware manufacturers, and different versions
-of MPI for parallel runs. This means we would have to provide about 10 different
-sets of binaries for each processor on each operation system, and keep them updated
-for each new release. Sorry, but that's simply not possible.<br>
-However, for Linux running on x86 computers it doesn't matter which compiler
-flags we use since it doesn't affect the assembly loops, and we can thus distribute
-RPM packages of GROMACS. If you want to run in parallel you probably have to install our
-versions of the LAM MPI packages to get the correct version, or compile GROMACS yourself.
-<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="install">
-<B>How do I compile and install the GROMACS package?</B><br><br>
-That's easy - we provide step-by-step instructions for you <A HREF="/installation/">here</A>.<br>

-The configure script will complain if it doesn't find FFTW, but you will be told what to do.<br><br>
-This setup is new from version 3.0, so there might be some bugs we've missed, though. Don't
-hesitate to post questions to the <a href="http://www.gromacs.org/mailing_lists/users.php>mailing lists</a>
-if you have problems.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="compiler">
-<B>How do I select the compiler and/or flags to use?</B><br><br>
-Select the compiler by setting the CC and/or F77 environment variables before running the
-GROMACS configure script (MPICC for the MPI C compiler). You can also set the corresponding compiler flags with CFLAGS and
-FFLAGS, and the linker flags with LDFLAGS. If you want to add a library at the link stage
-you can add the -llib flags to the LIBS variable, and include directories can be
-added in the CPPFLAGS variable.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="fftw">
-<B>The configuration script complains about FFTW - how
-do I install it?</B><br><br>
-FFTW uses the same type of automatic configuration scripts as
-GROMACS, so it's easy to configure and compile. The default setup
-places libraries under /usr/local, but you can change it with
---prefix. One important difference is that GROMACS normally
-is compiled in single precision, while FFTW defaults to double precision.
-Configure and install FFTW with the command:<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>
-<td WIDTH="2%" NOSAVE><font color="#000000"></font></td>
-
-<td WIDTH="98%" BGCOLOR="#000066" NOSAVE><font color="#FFFFFF">
-<tt> ./configure --enable-float<br>
- make<br>
- make install</TT>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-If you want to compile GROMACS with parallel MPI support you should
-also add --enable-mpi to the FFTW configuration. Once the installation
-is ready we recommend that you also install a double-precision version
-of FFTW (nice to have) with:<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>
-<td WIDTH="2%" NOSAVE><font color="#000000"></font></td>

-<tt> make distclean<br>
- ./configure<br>
- make<br>
-make install</tt>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-
-That's it. Consult <A HREF="http://www.fftw.org">www.fftw.org</A> if you have any problems.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="fftwlocation">
-<B>I HAVE installed FFTW, but the configuration script
-still says it can't find it!</B><br><br>
-
-OK. The problem is most probably that your compiler doesn't look for the
-header files and/or libraries in the place where you installed them. It's easy to fix; you
-can just tell the GROMACS configure script to add those directories to the search paths.
-Specify the header file directory (e.g. /home/erik/fftw/include) as<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>
-<td WIDTH="2%" NOSAVE><font color="#000000"></font></td>
-
-<td WIDTH="98%" BGCOLOR="#000066" NOSAVE><font color="#FFFFFF">
-<tt> CPPFLAGS="-I/home/erik/fftw/include"</tt>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-and the location of the libraries (e.g. /home/erik/fftw/lib) in<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>

-<td WIDTH="98%" BGCOLOR="#000066" NOSAVE><font color="#FFFFFF">
-<tt> LDFLAGS="-L/home/erik/fftw/lib"</tt>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-and then run the GROMACS configuration script. Note that some compilers don't search
-/usr/local by default, so you might have to specify these paths even if you installed
-FFTW in the default place.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="MPI">
-<B>How do I compile GROMACS for parallel runs?</B><br><br>
-On most systems you only have to add the option --enable-mpi to the configure
-script, and then compile GROMACS the normal way. For this to work you need to
-have MPI communication libraries install, and some kind of wrapper script like
-mpicc or mpcc to use when compiling MPI programs. MPI should always be present
-on supercomputers, and if you are running on workstations we recommend LAM MPI,
-<a href="http://www.lam-mpi.org">www.lam-mpi.org</a>. On Linux it's even simpler -
-just install the RPM packages we provide!<br><br>
-
-On most supercomputers you can only run MPI programs on dedicated nodes, so
-in this case you probably want all the analysis programs compiled without MPI first.
-Since you normally only need the mdrun program with MPI support you can type
-"make mdrun; make install-mdrun" instead, but remember to type "make distclean"
-if you have previously compiled GROMACS without MPI. It is also possible to put a suffix
-on the MPI-version programs, or just start MPI runs when an environment variable
-is set. Check the options to the configure script with "./configure --help".
-<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="noMPIwrapper">
-<B>When I enable MPI support for parallel runs, GROMACS
-looks for a special MPI wrapper script like 'mpicc', but we don't use that; is it possible to
- add the MPI library manually with -lmpi ?</B><br><br>
-Sure - no problem, but it might not be entirely obvious if you are new to autoconf scripts.
-Here's how to do it:<br><br>
-To use the MPI library we need the header files (mpi.h) with definitions, and the MPI libraries
-with the actual code (e.g. libmpi.a). If your system uses some special hardware it might
-also be necessary to link with more libraries - ask your system administrator if you have
-any problems. Start by location these headers and libraries on your system, and then add
-them to your environment variables before running the configure script:
-<br><br>

-<tt>
-setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/path/to/your/mpi/include"<br>

-setenv LIBS "-lmpi"<br>
-setenv MPICC "cc"</tt>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-(This is valid for tcsh, for bash you should use export instead.) Note that these commands overwrite
-any previous assignments, so you must add
-all parts you want (you can use $VARIABLE to add the previous value of an environment variable).
-<br>
-Now you should be able to run ./configure --enable-mpi !
-<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="nomotif">
-<B>How do I turn off Motif?</b><br><br>
-Just use the flag --without-motif-libraries (or headers).
-If the configure script doesn't find both libraries and headers it will disable motif. This is useful when you have motif on the machine where you compile, but not on all machines you run on.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="ldpath">
-<b>Everything compiles fine, but when I try to run a program
-it complains about not finding libXXXX.so.</b><br><br>
-GROMACS and/or the FFTW package can be compiled with shared libraries. In fact,
-it's the default setup in the Linux RPMs. This means we save space by not linking all the
-routines into each binary, but call the shared library at runtime. Of course, this requires that you can find the library at runtime. For the GROMACS distribution programs we hardcode the location of the GROMACS and FFTW libraries, but if you compile your own programs or move your libraries you must tell the system where to find them!
-Fortunately, this is quite easy to do. On Linux you can do it permanently for
-all users if you are root, by adding the search path to the file /etc/ld.so.conf. Alternatively, you can add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
-<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>
-<td WIDTH="2%" NOSAVE><font color="#000000"></font></td>
-
-<td WIDTH="98%" BGCOLOR="#000066" NOSAVE><font color="#FFFFFF">
-<TT>setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lib"</TT>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-(This is valid for tcsh, for bash you should use export instead.) Ask your
-local sysadm how to add it to your login file so it's done automatically each
-time you log on.
-<br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="osx_zsh">
-<b>I get an error from the configure script on Mac OS X!</B><br><br>
-This is because OS X uses Z shell for /bin/sh. This will hopefully be
-fixed in a future release of automake (it is not caused by Gromacs), but in the
-meantime you can install bash (if you don't already have it) and
-use the command '/bin/bash ./configure' (Your bash location might be different from /bin/bash).
-<br><br>
-
-
-
-<li><A NAME="noclue">
-<B>It still won't compile and I haven't got a clue what the problem might be...</B><br><br>
-Oops. Sorry, but those things happen :-) It's usually quite easy to fix. One possible
-source of errors is the shared libraries we use to save space. You can try to disable
-them with the --disable-shared flag to the configure script. You can also ask questions on the mailing
-lists or contact us. BUT: Unless you attach copies of your configuration/make output and/or
-log files we can only guess what your problem might be!<br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="relativespeed">
-<B>How fast is GROMACS compared to other programs?</B><br><br>
-GROMACS is fast, VERY fast. In fact, on all benchmarks we've tested it's
-3-10 times faster than any other program we've tried, many of which are
-commercial. On x86 hardware GROMACS really excels due to the assembly loops.
-Of course, speed isn't everything. There are cases where
-we don't support a certain algorithm that program X supports, and
-vice versa. For instance, our assembly loops are only available in single precision.
-In any case - show us a benchmark were some other program
-is faster and we'll be happy to implement that algorithm. <br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="speed">
-<B>Is there any way I can make GROMACS run faster?</B><br><br>
-That depends on your setup. If you are using x86 processors you should definitely
-make sure that you compile GROMACS with assemblt loops, and that your OS
-supports SSE instructions if you are using Pentium III/IV processors. If you
-compiled GROMACS with assembly loops there will be a line in the logfile telling
-you which loops we are using.<br>
-On alpha hardware you might want to play around with enabling/disabling the
-software invsqrt, and the inner loop vectorization. Modern alpha chips have a
-fairly fast hardware sqrt, but they also seem to benefit even more from vectorizing the
-innerloops and using the vectorized invsqrt provided in GROMACS.<br>
-If you are using IBM hardware you should locate or download the MASS libraries
-(mathematical accelerated subsystem). If you provide the location of this library
-in the LDFLAGS environment variable GROMACS will automatically use fast vectorized
-inner loops on IBM.<br>
-On any system apart from Linux/x86 (where we use assembly innerloops) you should also
-try to use a fortran compiler for better performance, and if you run Linux/alpha
-you should use the Compaq compilers instead of gcc.<br><br>
-You should always use single precision; there are very few cases where you
-actually need double precision, and it's slower.<br><br>
-Investigate the options <TT>-dummy</TT> and <TT>-heavyh</TT> to
-<A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/pdb2gmx.html"><TT>pdb2gmx</TT></A>
-which control the constraining of hydrogen atoms and the mass of
-unconstrained hydrogen atoms. This eliminates the highest freqency
-motions in your system, enabling you to increase the timestep without
-loss of accuracy to about 4 fs, or even up to 7 fs with negligible
-loss of accuracy! (<I>J. Comput. Chem.</I> <B>20</B>,786).<br><br>
-If your system has relatively slow disk-IO, and/or you write
-frames and energies out very often, and/or you have a very large
-system the performance might be limited by disk access. In that case,
-you might consider writing fewer frames to your trajectories
-(<TT>.xtc</TT> and especially <TT>.trr</TT> or <TT>.trj</TT>) and
-energy file (<TT>.ene</TT> or <TT>.edr</TT>).<br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="besthardware">
-<B>What hardware do you recommend?</B><br><br>
-If cost is an issue, you can't beat dual Pentium boxes due to the assembly loops!
-Dual AMD machines should also be a nice option soon. Note that the Pentium 4 processors
-achieve a high clock frequency by using a longer pipeline, so a Pentium 4 at 1.7 GHz is
-about the same speed as a Pentium III at 1.2 GHz. Don't be fooled by the high clock!<br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="systemsize">
-<B>How large systems can I simulate with GROMACS?</B><br><br>
-It's only limited by your memory, and GROMACS is quite modest in its
-memory requirements. As an indictaion: a system of 12000 atoms takes
-about 10Mb of memory, and 6000 atoms about 5.5Mb (on a SGI O2),
-which comes down to just over 900 bytes memory use per atom in
-your system (your mileage will vary). Due to the fact that we initially
-developed GROMACS to run on our home-built parallel machine, with
-only 8Mb of memory per processor, the code is quite well optimized for
-memory use. To get an indication of scaling of GROMACS performance as
-a function of system size, have a look at the
-<A HREF="/benchmarks/scaling.php">scaling benchmark page</A>.<br><br>
-Note that the .gro format only support atoms numbers up to 99999, so
-it will loop once it reaches 100000 atoms. This is no problem in GROMACS
-since we don't use the atom number from the .gro file.<br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="pdfgraphics">
-<B>Why is the front page graphics in the PDF manual strange?</b><br><br>
-This is a known problem with some versions of Acrobat reader on Linux. There
-is nothing we can do about it, but in the cases we've tested the graphics
-still prints fine on paper.<br><br>
-
-
-<li><A NAME="PDB">
-<B>OK, I've downloaded a PDB file with a structure I'd like
-to simulate. What should I do?</B><br><br>
-Look at the <A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/flow.html">flowchart</A> for a quick overview.
-Start where it says "eiwit.pdb" (this is somewhere at the top).
-More detailed info can be found in the
-<A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/getting_started.html">Getting Started</A>
-section, you can probably start where it says "Ribonuclease S-Peptide".
-<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="multi">
-<B>My protein has multiple subunits. Is that a problem?</B><br><br>
-<TT>pdb2gmx</TT> can automatically process multimeric proteins,
-but won't be able to make inter-subunit cystine bridges. A word of warning, though:
-the units will only be recognized as different chains if they
-have different chain identifiers!<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="convert">
-<B>How do I convert my structure from a .gro, .tpr, or trajectory
-file to a .pdb file?</B><br><br>
-Any <a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/files.html">generic structure</a> file,
-for instance <TT>.gro</TT>, <TT>.pdb</TT> or <TT>.tpr</TT>, can be
-converted to <TT>.pdb</TT> with
-<a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/editconf.html">editconf</a></TT>. You can view a
-<TT>.pdb</TT> file with several programs, for instance <TT>rasmol</TT>. Two generic
-structure files can be fitted with
-<a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/g_confrms.html">g_confrms</a></TT>, the two
-superimposed structures can be written to a <TT>.pdb</TT> file. Any
-<a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/files.html">generic trajectory</a> format can be
-converted with <a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/trjconv.html"><TT>trjconv</TT></a>.
-You can dump one frame with <TT>trjconv -dump</TT>, or write a
-<TT>.pdb</TT> with multiple frames using <TT>trjconv -op -app</TT>.
-If multiple structures in a <TT>.pdb</TT> are separated by
-<TT>ENDMDL</TT> keywords, you should use <TT>rasmol -nmrpdb</TT> to

-
-
-<li><A NAME="scmis">
-<B>The <TT>pdb2gmx</TT> program is complaining about long bonds and/or
-missing atoms. What should I do?</B><br><br>
-There are probably atoms missing earlier in the
-<A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/pdb.html"><TT>.pdb</TT></A> file
-which makes <A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/pdb2gmx.html"><TT>pdb2gmx</TT></A>
-go crazy. Check the screen output of <TT>pdb2gmx</TT>, as it
-will tell you which one is missing. Then add the atoms in your pdb file,

-
-<li><A NAME="osxcpp">
-<B>grompp doesn't find the C preprocessor /lib/cpp on OS X!</B><br><br>
-Yep, that's right. OS X is a real Unix system, but Apple have been moving
-some stuff around. Look for it in /usr/bin or possible a place like
-/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/2.95.2/cpp. Since a lot of programs assume
-cpp to be present in /lib it is probably smart to make a link, but you

-
-<li><A NAME="1-4cut">
-<B>What does "1-4 (#,#) interaction not within cut-off" mean?</B><br><br>
-Some of your atoms have moved so two atoms separated by three bonds are
-separated by more than the cutoff distance. This is BAD.
-Most important: <b>do not increase your cut-off!</b> This error
-actually indicates that the atoms have very large velocities,
-which usually means that (part of) your molecule(s) is (are)
-exploding. If you are using LINCS for constraints, you probably also
-already got a number of LINCS warnings. When using SHAKE this will
-give rise to a SHAKE error, which halts your simulation before the
-"1-4 not within cutoff" error can appear. <br><br>
-There can be a number of reasons for the large velocities in
-your system. If it happens at the
-beginning of the simulation, your system might be not equilibrated
-well enough (e.g. it contains some bad contacts). Try a(nother) round
-of energy minimization to fix this. Otherwise you might have a very
-high temperature, and/or a too large
-timestep. Experiment with these parameters till the error stops
-occurring. If this doesn't help, check your topology!<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="libnet">
-<B>What does "Fatal error: Routine gmx_tx called in libnet.c" mean?</B><br><br>
-You probably made a parallel mdrun without typing make distclean. The error
-messages tells you that the GROMACS library you are using doesn't support parallel runs.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="output">
-<B>My simulation seems to be running, but shouldn't there be any output?</B><br><br>
-
-
-<UL>
-<LI>Your simulation might simply be (very) slow, and since output is
-buffered, it can take quite some time for output to appear in the
-respective files. If you are trying to fix some problems and you want
-to get output as fast as possible, you can set the environment
-variable <TT>LOG_BUFS</TT> to 0 by using <TT>setenv LOG_BUFS 0</TT>,
-this disables output buffering. Use <TT>unsetenv LOG_BUFS</TT> to turn
-buffering on again.
-
-<LI>Something might be going wrong in your simulation, causing
-e.g. <tt>not-a-number</tt>s (<TT>NAN</TT>) to be generated (these are
-the result of e.g. division by zero). Subsequent calculations with
-<TT>NAN</TT>'s will generate floating point exceptions which slow
-everything down by orders of magnitude. On a SGI system this will
-usually result in a large percentage of CPU time being devoted to
-'system' (check it with <TT>osview</TT>, or for a multi-processor
-machine with <TT>top</TT> and <TT>osview</TT>).
-
-<LI>You might have all
-<A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/mdp_opt.html#out"><TT>nst*</TT></A> parameters (see
-your <A HREF="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/mdp_opt.html"><TT>.mdp</TT></A> file) set to 0,
-this will suppress most output.
-
-<LI>Your disk might be full. Eventually this will lead to
-<TT>mdrun</TT> crashing, but since output is buffered, it might take a
-while for <TT>mdrun</TT> to realize it can't write.
-<li>You are runnning an executable compiled with MPI support (e.g.
-<a href="http://www.lam-mpi.org">LAM</a>) and did not start the LAM daemon
-(lamboot). See LAM documentation.
-</UL>
-<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="temp">
-<b>Why do I get very strange temperatures in my simulation?</b><br><br>
-You probably have very close contacts or a too large time
-step. This causes inaccurate integration which will usually result in
-a large positive temperature drift. Try some more energy minimization
-to get rid of the close contacts, or if that still doesn't help, try a
-short equilibration run with a small(er) time step. <br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="recover">
-<b>Is there any smart way to continue a run that crashed?</b><br><br>
-Yes, if the reason for the crash didn't have anything to doe with
-the algorithms, i.e. it was due to a system crash, a full disk, or
- a kill by the queuing system. Otherwise you'll have to use
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/grompp.html">grompp</a></TT>
-and change the options.
-
-To really continue a simulation as if nothing had happened, you will
-need coordinates and velocities in full precision (i.e.
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/trr.html">.trr</a></TT> format).
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/xtc.html">.xtc</a></TT> trajectories are in
-reduced precision (only 3 decimal places after the decimal point) and
-do not contain velocity information at all. Feed this trajectory and
-your origional <TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/tpr.html">.tpr</a></TT> file to
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/tpbconv.html">tpbconv</a></TT> to obtain a new
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/tpr.html">.tpr</a></TT> file, <EM>be sure</EM>
-to specify the one-but-last frame from your
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/trr.html">.trr</a></TT> file, since the very
-last frame is likely to be corrupted due to the crash. With the
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/tpr.html">.tpr</a></TT> file
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/tpbconv.html">tpbconv</a></TT> produces you can
-restart your simulation.<br><br>
-
-After the continuation run is finished, you will have your simulation
-split up in separate files, which you will probably want to combine.
-This can be done as follows (the same command works for xtc-files):<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>
-<td WIDTH="2%" NOSAVE><font color="#000000"></font></td>
-
-<td WIDTH="98%" BGCOLOR="#000066" NOSAVE><font color="#FFFFFF">
-<TT>trjcat -o whole.trr part1.trr part2.trr part3.trr</TT>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-The energy files can be concatenated in a similar manner:<br><br>
-<table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=8 COLS=3 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
-<tr NOSAVE>
-<td WIDTH="2%" NOSAVE><font color="#000000"></font></td>
-<td WIDTH="98%" BGCOLOR="#000066" NOSAVE><font color="#FFFFFF">
-<TT>eneconv -o whole.edr part1.edr part2.edr part3.edr</TT>
-<td></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-<br>
-Since tpbconv sets the time in the continuation runs the files are
-automatically sorted and overlapping frames removed. If you have a mix of
-runs continued with tpbconv and grompp you might have to set the times yourself
-(see the manual pages for details).
-<br><br>
-
-It is of course possible to start a simulation from the coordinates in
-your <a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/xtc.html">xtc</a> file, but in that case new
-velocities will have to be generated resulting in a 'kink' in the
-simulation. To prevent this you should write coordinates and
-velocities to a <TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/trr.html">.trr</a></TT> file
-during your simulations. Do this by setting
-<A HREF=/documentation/reference_3.1/online/mdp_opt.html#out><TT>nstxout</TT></a> and
-<A HREF=/documentation/reference_3.1/online/mdp_opt.html#out><TT>nstvout</TT></a> in your
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/mdp.html">.mdp</a></TT> file. You don't need
-these frames very often (every 10 ps or so), but remember that when
-<TT><a href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/mdrun.html">mdrun</a></TT> crashes, everything
-calculated after the last frame in the <TT><a
-href="/documentation/reference_3.1/online/trr.html">.trr</a></TT> file, will have to be
-recalculated for a proper continuation.<br><br>
-
-<li><A NAME="largefiles">
-<b>When my trajectory files reach 2GB I get strange error messages,
-or they just disappear. Why?</b><br><br>
-This is a problem with the file system; when the system, or the C library,
-or the compiler, or the NFS implementation (version 2) only uses 32 bits
-for the file pointer you cannot use files larger than 2GB. On most modern
-systems there are special compiler flags you can set to enable 64-bit file
-pointers, but since the autoconf test for this doesn't work we have chosen
-not to include any flags by default, since it can break other things. But
-you can of course try anything if you add your own flags :-)
-<br>
-In any case, it is probably a good idea to try to keep your files
-smaller than 2GB. You never know if you later might need to use it over
-NFS version 2 or on some supercomputer system that doesn't support large
-files yet.<br><br>
