Hello Michael,

You will need to have a non binary coord file with as well as the binary
forms. Don't know why, thats just the way it is...

an example
structure ./adjusted_wat.psf #file created from psfgen
coordinates ./adjusted_wat.pdb #ignored when bincoordinates is on
bincoordinates gwr_dyn_32ns_pme_on.restart.coor
binvelocities gwr_dyn_32ns_pme_on.restart.vel #used for restarting from
lastknown velocities
