Re: [AMBER] velocities and irest=0 in Amber 11/12

If irest=0, no velocities should be used (even if ntx=5). I think you need
to use ntx=5 so sander/pmemd knows that velocities are present (if there is
periodic box information). If this is not the case, I think this probably
needs to be fixed...

All the best,
Jason
