Dear Linda,

This error message is just telling you that you don't that the input
file: lipid_only_constP_NTP.in in the directory where you are trying to
run the job from. Have you renamed it between running with ntp=1, or
have you changed directories and forgotten to copy the revised file
across?

Hope this helps

Andy
