[gmx-users] Resuming of calculation from last *.cpt

[James Starlight]

Jusin,

yes, the initial files were named as the md_initial

the simulation was resumed correctly but all output data was saved
into new set of files with the default names. In my case I want that
the resummed simulation data will write to the existing (md_initial)
files without creation of new trajectory and other files.
