Re: Error running deinterleave_idws.py on FEP simulation output

Hi Amy,

There are some weird quirks in the script due to the specific assumptions
inside ParseFEP. We're looking to change these in future releases.

Some things to check:

1) make sure that the first timestep after lambda changes is zero. The
parseFEP format requires this and the popular fep.tcl script always calls
"firstTimestep 0" before run.

2) you must have the same (nonzero!) number of equilibration steps at each
lambda. This is inconvenient for testing but a hard-coded requirement in
parseFEP.

3) of versions of parseFEP break if you use "alchEnsembleAvg off", which
affects the number of columns in the output.

Let me know if these changes don't help.

Cheers,
BKR
