A PDF of the tutorial is located here:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/namd/ABF/tutorial-abf.pdf
I found this on http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/, under A Tutorial
on Adaptive Biasing Force Calculations in NAMD.*

*The part describing concatenating the files is on page 21-22 (I was just
reading this earlier today).
