[gmx-users] trjconv problem

[Justin A. Lemkul]

Could renumbering be a switchable feature?  For instance, pdb2gmx -[no]renumber, 
with "no" being default?  Otherwise, could you provide an example of how to 
properly use the environment variable you posted, since this would seem to 
affect all of us in the membrane protein world quite distinctly (i.e., a 
singly-numbered lipid, as reported, kills many of the programs we have written 
for lipid analysis).
