That's irrelevant to whether you should be pestering an individual who hasn't solicited your correspondence :-)

I'm asking you because I think that you already has an issue like mine.

No, I've never had an issue like yours. You don't want to irritate the people who might be best place to help you by spamming them.

I'm trying to use tabulated potentials for a very simple system: a
polymer chain with only 3 kind of atoms: A, B and C, all of it with
zero charge.

A--(B)n--C

The only interactions that accounts are AB, AC, BB and CC, so in my
mdp file I have writen:

coulombtype = user
vdw-type    = user
energygrps      = A B C
energygrp_table = AB AC BB BC

Also, I'm using tabulated bonded potentials for bonds and angles.

The main questions are how to tell to mdrun that he must read my table
files and can I be sure that the reading is OK?

Make sure you've read the manual and relevant wiki web page thoroughly, and you should experiment on a simple system first.

For the bonding part I have the following table files:

table_b1.xvg
table_a1.xvg
table_a2.xvg
table_a3.xvg

And in the mdrun commandline I'm using the option -tableb table.
But how to handle the non bonding table files?

table_A_B.xvg
table_A_C.xvg
table_B_B.xvg
table_B_C.xvg

Must I write

energygrps      = A B C
energygrp_table = AC BB BC

in the mdp file and use the tables

table.xvg
table_A_C.xvg
table_B_B.xvg
table_B_C.xvg

with the command line for mdrun saying -table table.xvg?

Another thing, because the tables doesn't have to contain only zero columns...
Can I put anything on the f and f' columns (because the charge of my
atoms is zero)?
Can I put (for example) 0.5 in the g and g' columns and my potential
(and the force) minus 0.5 in columns h and h'?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
