Fabien -
As far as nmropt = 1 stuff goes, pmemd basically does pretty much the exact
same things as sander 6/7. I believe there are some new input formats
supported by sander 8 for restraints/frozen atoms, and this stuff is not
supported by pmemd (you have to use the amber 6/7 GROUP input), but you are
not doing this sort of thing here. So the pmemd nmr code is really just a
port of sander code to f90, whith nmropt > 1 features stripped out. I did
not otherwise touch the stuff because it is convoluted, not particularly
well documented, and there is not a complete set of regression tests. I am
saying all this basically to put the question back in the sander court. As
far as any analysis I can do, I have tracked through the code and it looks
like a temporary file is being opened on unit 35; I presume the file is a
temporary because a name was not provided, but it also looks like this file
should be the dumpave file. Do you otherwise get the dumpave file you
provided a name for? Anyway, whoever wrote this stuff should respond to
this message, and the amber group should specify what is going on here in
the doc, rewrite the code, or whatever.
