Re: ABF : dihedral-com.tcl

Dear Vaithee,

You need to edit the abf.tcl startup script in order to add the abf0 and
abf3 keywords.

Either you add "abf0 {}" and "abf3 {}" in "array set defaults"
(the same way abf2 is defined there)

Or you add them in "set silent ....." (just add "abf0" and "abf3" after
"direction")

Cheers
