Alain, I've run into this as well. It seems to me that in version 3.0, dynamics.f90 does not save the velocities between MD timesteps. So after the initial velocity scaling they are basically set to zero. Simply adding the vel array to the unit=4 read and write statements in dynamics.f90 seems to fix the problem for me. Is this a known bug? -Eric Schwegler
