Dear Dave,

I have done 2 simulation, using the following combinations:

1. inpcrd_01 and prmtop_01
2. inpcrd_01 and prmtop_02

They gave exactly the same output files. After this simulation, I have
replaced the last line of inpcrd_02 with the last line of inpcrd_01. I
have used 'ambpdb' to create the corresponding .pdb files; namely 01.pdb
which is created using inpcrd_01/prmtop_01, and 02.pdb, which is created
using prmtop_02/inpcrd_02_mod (inpcrd_02_mod is the modified version of
inpcrd_02). I checked out both these .pdb files in VMD, and the rmsd value
is 0.0008.

My conclusion: Changing only the last line of the inpcrd_02 with the last
line of inpcrd_01 should solve this 'setbox' problem. I did not do any
long simulation, because if prmtop files are not responsible of this
problem (which is the case after doing the above 2 simulations), that
means that only changing the last line of inpcrd file, which stores the
cell box info in it, is responsible of this problem.

Thanks for your suggestions. Best,
