Hi Aron,
Thanks for the message. Yes I am using binary inputs.
For example my restart configuration file will look like the following.
structure NE2_wb.psf
coordinates NE2_wb_eq1.pdb
bincoordinates NE2_eq1_data.restart.coor
binvelocities NE2_eq1_data.restart.vel
extendedSystem NE2_eq1_data.restart.xsc
So I am fine, is that what you say?
Roy
