Ok  it work but don't stop.
                Total FORCE_EVAL ( FIST ) energy (a.u.):
-8.639417626820036

but there isn't a problem.
(SAVE_MEM has same problem...)

 Ok.. Can I use fixed atom for fixed backbone? It seems to work .

It is TRUE...

A this moment I want only real part...
EWALD NONE=standard real-space coulomb potential is computed together
with the non-bonded contributions.
am I right?

There are a lot of knobs to be adjusted!!!!!

Thanks
