Hi,

I had the same problem as you, and my temporary solution to that was this :

freeEnergy on
freeEnergyConfig {
     urestraint {
     dist group {(N,CA,C): (MOL,1),(MOL,2),(MOL,3),(MOL,4)
                     (MOL,5),(MOL,6),(MOL,7),(MOL,8)}
                (SOLV, 795) kf=20, ref=20.0
     }
     mcti { |
         task = stepup |
         equiltime = 400 ps |
         accumtime = 200 ps | <--- I added this part.
         numsteps = 1 |
         print = 2.0 ps |
     } |
}

Then you can make the restraint you want even if we have one thing we
don't want : the free energy calculation. Anyway, seems like it works,
but it doesn't look nice and I think there should be better solution.
