[gmx-developers] -dhdl flag in gmx energy obsolete?

[Michael R Shirts]

The reason the mechanism of storing the information necessary for recreating the .dhdl file in the .edr file was introduced was, I believe, to move away from having a separate dhdl.xvg file, and instead have that data stored in the .edr like the other energy data.  

It does seem a bit redundant to have two ways of storing and regenerating that information, but if we had to pick one, it would presumably be the .edr file to match the other methods.

Best,

    Hi,
    
    I would think this is quite useful if you want to process dH/dl data 
    with something else than gmx energy, e.g. python scripts for MBAR.
