Dear AMBER fans:
  I have a question about the MD initial velocity. There are two ways to
generate the initial velocity: one to use random velocity seed, the
other to read from the restart file. I am not sure when to use the
velocity information from the restart file. Does the initial velocity
affect the MD very much? Personally I think the initial velocity
shouldn't impact the MD very much for s table system. Would you please
give me some advice how to choose the initial velocity?
 Thank you very much.
