Re: [AMBER] High-temperature output in REMD

Hello,

The problem is that the temperature in this instance is printed with the
format statement "f6.2", meaning that the range of temperatures that can be
printed are -99.99 to 999.99 (because only 6 characters are allowed, and 2
must be decimals).

*End technical, unnecessary explanation*

This doesn't matter at all. Furthermore, all of the temperatures are
printed in the remlog file (from -999999.99 to 9999999.99 K), so all of the
REMD printout in the mdout files are superfluous. If you want to get rid of
the ***s, though, you can change the line

write(6,'(a16,a7,f6.2,2(a7,i2),a7,f10.2)') &

to

write(6,'(a16,a7,f8.2,2(a7,i2),a7,f10.2)') &

in $AMBERHOME/src/sander/remd.f

HTH,
Jason
