[gmx-users] Possible to stop mdrun changing file names when usingcheckpoint files?

Justin,

That adds it onto the previous files.  Not what I want either.

Way I have been doing my simulations is in batches of 1ns.  Things drop out, stop, then get resubmitted to do another 1 ns.  Before 4.0 have used tpb2conv -extend 1000 supplied with the energy and trajectory files.

Minor thing I know, but when your various scripts are all set up to use a particular format, life is easier if you keep things are they are.

Catch ya,
