Hi Sajeewa
I really recommend that you upgrade to amber 12 ! The number of changes
and improvements are too many to pass on.
You can set ig to whatever you want, as long as it is different every time.
We have scripts to start or restart runs with ig=1 .... N
They all generate independent random streams, uncorrelated. We tested
this a lot. It makes no difference if you choose ig =1 or 235671 or if
the igs are consecutive or not.
