24 \&tpbconv can edit run input files in four ways.
27 \&\fB 1.\fR by modifying the number of steps in a run input file
28 \&with options \fB \-extend\fR, \fB \-until\fR or \fB \-nsteps\fR
29 \&(nsteps=\-1 means unlimited number of steps)
32 \&\fB 2.\fR (OBSOLETE) by creating a run input file
33 \&for a continuation run when your simulation has crashed due to e.g.
34 \&a full disk, or by making a continuation run input file.
35 \&This option is obsolete, since mdrun now writes and reads
37 \&\fB Note\fR that a frame with coordinates and velocities is needed.
38 \&When pressure and/or Nose\-Hoover temperature coupling is used
39 \&an energy file can be supplied to get an exact continuation
40 \&of the original run.
43 \&\fB 3.\fR by creating a \fB .tpx\fR file for a subset of your original
44 \&tpx file, which is useful when you want to remove the solvent from
45 \&your \fB .tpx\fR file, or when you want to make e.g. a pure Calpha \fB .tpx\fR file.
46 \&Note that you may need to use \fB \-nsteps \-1\fR (or similar) to get
48 \&\fB WARNING: this \fB .tpx\fR file is not fully functional\fR.
51 \&\fB 4.\fR by setting the charges of a specified group
52 \&to zero. This is useful when doing free energy estimates
53 \&using the LIE (Linear Interaction Energy) method.
