[gmx-users] MD after equilibration phase

Also, if we give continuation=yes in mdp file and use input as pdb file as
input instead of gro file, grompp never complains....I don't no how it
reads velocities from pdb file (as no velocities are present in pdb files).
Ideally it should complain that no velocities found in input file....
