Re: [AMBER-Developers] Trajectory Writes During Xmin

Hi Dan,

XMIN and LMOD know nothing about trajectories and IMHO they shouldn't.
  They both read input coordinates and provide output coordinates; it
is entirely up to the calling program to decide what to do with these
coordinates. Of course I mean the core XMIN and LMOD libraries, the
top level wrappers are part of Amber and that would be the place to
implement any of your options. As for the LMOD tests, they are
expected to be different on different architectures, etc., in terms of
the few steps these tests involve, but they should look qualitatively
similar, which of course is difficult to do with diff. I believe we
have a comment regarding this in the test.lmod output.
