Thanks for your reply Justin, but my confusion in the first part is not being removed. If #define is outdated then is it that gromacs does not even consider those lines? Then how does gromacs use those force fields during grompp?
Also, if somehow gormacs considers those force fields then where is the location of them. There is no force field with such names in the working directory, neither in topolbuild directory nor in gromacs top directory .

If they do, commenting them out isn't correct. If they only contain duplicate information already present in the parent force field, commenting them out is fine. -Justin -- ================================================== Justin A.
