[gmx-users] Joining two simulation box into a big box

[Dallas Warren]

gmx editconf -translate

Use that to shift each box to the correct coordinate space of the
larger simulation box, by the appropriate axis dimension of each it is
being stacked on.  Join the gro files together using a text editor,
removing header and footer for intermediate boxes, adjust atom count
at top of gro file, adjust box dimensions appropriately at end of gro
file.
