Thanks Justin.  That clarified a lot.  I'm having trouble simulating
the 1 molecule of gas methanol.  I took the original energy minimized
molecule and I'm trying to start it off on NVT using the following
*.mdp file.  I got rid of PBC (ns_type=simple) and I set
rlist=infinite.  After correcting some errors, "Can not have
dispersion correction with pbc=no", (set dispcorr=no), and setting
nstlist=0 since Gromacs says simulating without cut-offs is usually
faster with nstlist=0, I now keep getting an error saying "Can not
have nstlist<=0 with twin-range interactions".   Should nstlist be =0
as it says in the Gromacs manual when simulating with no cut-offs for
pbc=no?  It says I can not have Ewald with pbc=no which makes sense
but I don't know what to replace it with.


A few things:

1. "rlist = infinite" is not an option. The value of rlist is a floating-point number. To achieve infinite cutoffs, set rlist=rvdw=rcoulomb=0.

2. Don't use PME. Set "coulombtype = cutoff." There are no cutoff artifacts here, since with rcoulomb=0, all interactions are calculated.
