how about there being a file lock on xxx.conf due to being held open
in an editor and windows not giving your namd executable read access?
i don't use windows, but i remember some strange behavior about not
being able to manipulate files that are "locked" by some app before.
can you _read_ the xxx.conf file with something like "cat"?
cheers,
