Re: [AMBER] MMPBSA.py - entropy only?

Just to clarify, MMPBSA.py will only do a GB calculation if 1) the &gb
namelist is specified in the input file or 2) no other calculations (PB,
entropy, etc) are specified. So the mdcrd flag should not have any bearing
on whether a GB calculation is performed or not.

Regardless, glad to hear it works for you now.
