[gmx-users] more than 2 step*.pdb files?

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hmm, come to think of it, it occured to me too, though with two 
step*.pdb files, but also two #step*.pdb# files. It didn't really strike 
me, and was not much of a problem, running only on two processors.

The system in my case is also a receptor in a bilayer in water. If you 
want more details, just mention.

Groetjes ;)
