All dynamic information of a molecular system needed to start or
restart a molecular simulation is provided in a restart file (rst).
This file contains, among other things, atomic coordinates and velocities,
accumulated properties and restraint information.
The initial restart file is generated by a utility
nwRST. This
program reads coordinates from an external source and writes a
restart file in the proper format for nwARGOS. The coordinates are
read from a PDB file, or from the rst file generated by
nwRST or nwARGOS. In addition,
nwRST performs
other operations, such as solvation, depending on information found
in a restart input file (rin).
