Yes, although in my experience 'autoimage' in more recent versions of
cpptraj does a good job of re-imaging, especially if you properly
specify the anchor/use the 'moveanchor' option as appropriate for more
condensed systems.
If you want to run with iwrap=0 just make certain that you are using
NetCDF trajectories (ioutfm=1) and restarts (ntxo=2). Note that those
have become the default formats in Amber versions 16 and up.
