[gmx-users] Position restrains during alchemical transformation

[Hermann, Johannes]

Hi Mark,

thank you for your answer. It works. I used genrestr for generating the 
position restrains. I now manually edited the respective lines. Gromacs 
wants only the parameters for the B state (If you repeat the function 
type you get an error).

Eg:

123    1    1000   1000   1000   1000   1000   1000

All the best and thanks again

Johannes
