Re: AMBER: restart file and crd file

hello amber users.

i´m having some similar problems with the mdcrd.
therefore i started a test-simulation writing out trajectory- and
restart-files every step.
but non of the restart-files matches the trajactory-files exactly.
mostly the differences
are in the 4th decimal place.
are calculations for the crd in the restart-files and the crd in the
trajectory-files done by
the same algorithm or could it be a rounding error??

greets
heiko
