[gmx-users] duplicate the lipid bilayer

[Rainer Boeckmann]

editconf -center  will do it.
Center the first bilayer with -center 0 0 0, then the second patch with 
e.g. -center 0 box_y 0, the third with -center box_x 0 0, the fourth 
with -center box_x box_y 0 and the cat the pdb-files together...
cheers,
rainer
