[gmx-users] which "tpr" file to use

[sarbani chattopadhyay]

  Hi Tsjerk,
                You have cleared my doubts. I had fitted the structures in the pdb files, which is 
why I was confused because different coordinates were encountered for the same time step 
in the original and extended run( that had crashed).
Now I understand, where lies the problem.

Thank you very much.
