Thank you, Ruth!

Actually, I have also been able to achieve it by writing a restraint
file of the form:

&rst iat=1,4,4,21,,
       iresid=0, ifvari=1,nstep1=0, nstep2=1000,
       rstwt=1,-1
       r1=-10.000, r2=-1.2000, r3=-0.8000, r4=10,
       r1a=-10.000, r2a=1.0000, r3a=1.0000, r4a=10,
       rk2=500, rk3=500,rk2a=2000, rk3a=2000,
&end


In the first line I indicate the atoms involved in the colective
variable and the rstw is the set of weights for each distance.


Thanks for your help

Sincerely,
Diego SP
