that's ok.

maybe that's the problem. I did in fact only change the timestep. But: how do
parameters like nstlist affect the energies at step 0? The kinetic energy at step
0 is different fot two runs starting from the same gro-file but with different
delta t. Thought these parameters were only important for later steps...
Thanks a lot,
Rainer
