[gmx-users] Restart dynamics when trr files removed

[CROUZY Serge 119222]

Dear Gromacs users

I ran long MD simulations ( 50ns) with nstxout=5000 resulting in very large .trr files
Realizing that I did not need these files (xtc enough), I removed them hoping to regenerate necessary restart files from a new
gmx grompp and corrected mdp file (with nstxout=0)...
But NO - I can't restart the simulation  from 50 ns on without trr files - Whatever tricks I seem to have tried to fool the controls
I hope someone can tell me how I can solve my problem  - Even if it is recompiling the source to remove the flag checking
that the trr file is absent

Thanks for your help !
