[gmx-users] How to suppress the screen info & how to overwrite files?

[Hiroshi Fujisaki]

Dear Justin,

Thanks for your prompt reply and help.
I understood about the first item, but even if I type 
export GMX_MAXBACKUP=0 (bash)
it does not seem to work. What is the recommended 
procedure? Is there any problem with revision?

I appreciate your help.

Best wishes,
