[gmx-developers] Fwd: fixed "3.3.3"?

[XAvier Periole]

Dear David,

Why don't you use your own version? It is often that we do this! Changes
do not make it always into the "official" version and especially if  
they are
in development.

You can also install your own modified version on a super-computer! If
there are special compilation issues, you can ask the administrator to
provide the script they used to install the "official" version. I've  
done this
a few times, they were always happy to help.

For publication you can state that you use the gmx-3.3.X version where
this and that have been implemented. It should not be a problem.

XAvier.
