Hi,

This note is printed when output files will be "large", large is defined as 
more than 2 GB.
Not writing forces just gets you under this limit.

Subject: [gmx-users] writing forces in gromacs

Hi everyone,
I had been trying to work with forces of the atoms and stumbled upon something 
weird. 
In my md.mdp file i ask to write forces with a certain frequency then the 
grompp shows a seemingly harmless note, the full md.mdp and extract of the 
grompp.out are as follows :-

title               =  Yocpp                 =  /usr/bin/cppconstraints         
=  noneintegrator          =  mddt                  =  0.002    ; ps !
nsteps              =  8500     ; total 17 ps.nstcomm             =  0nstxout   
          =  500nstvout             =  500
nstfout             =   500nstlog              =  100nstenergy           =

There was 1 note
gcq#197: "I Do It All the Time" (Magnapop)
                         :-)  G  R  O  M  A  C  S  (-:



Now when i change nstfout to zero (no printing of forces) the note doesnt show 
up anymore.
Also for the case with nstfout = 500 it seems that the forces are being read 
and written properly, I tried the g_traj tool to see the forces.

Could someone clarify?
Thank you,Amit Choubey
