Hello Jason,

Ok for the input file, I removed the redundant "/" or "&end" but that does
not produce any change.

I have tried to write the restraints in several way but always using the
"restraint = " keyword. I have unsuccessfully tried:

( :4.P :25.Na+ )
(:4.P,:25.Na+)
( (:4.P) (:25.Na+) )
(:4.P, 759)
(221 759)
and other combinations... never worked.

If I use the iat format instead, all seems to work but... I want to run 408
independent MD runs, in 408 different systems. In all the systems the
residues and atom names are the same but the index changes and I really dont
want to make 408 different RST files!

Thanking you in advance,
P.
