Hi,
     Since this system is big and takes to time to execute, i prepared two
water molecules system which will run very fast.

Please find the enclosed files.  One (run-20steps.tar.gz) is run for 20
steps.  And the other (run-10steps.tar.gz) is run for 10 steps intially,
and later, it is ran for 10 steps by making restart option active.

Comparing COLVAR files in both of them (run-20steps & run-10steps/restart)
show the differences from 11th step onwards.

Following is the differences between two files.

following options to restart this, the value of COLVAR 1  before and after
restart are not same.
