[gmx-users] Continuation mdp flag

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

It really doesn't do much.
http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/2016/user-guide/mdp-options.html#bonds
covers
it. (Background: people expect that output is written with constraints
satisfied, we write the checkpoint at the same time for convenience and
efficiency, the initial simulation part probably only has constraints
approximately satisfied from the user input to grompp, and before GROMACS 4
a .tpr file was the only way to both start and continue a run.) Probably
the mdp option should be removed in favour of logic based around whether an
input checkpoint file (which can be constructed to be sane wrt the intended
simulation) was supplied to mdrun.
