- Here is how it looks like:
drwxr-xr-x  44K Nov  8 09:33 step_001/
drwxr-xr-x  44K Nov  8 22:30 step_002/
drwxr-xr-x  44K Nov  9 11:41 step_003/
drwxr-xr-x  44K Nov 10 00:46 step_004/
drwxr-xr-x  44K Nov 10 13:55 step_005/

and inside a step:

-rw-r--r--  307K Nov 11 02:51 table_CH_CH.xvg
-rw-r--r--  307K Nov 11 02:51 table_CH_CO.xvg

- 5x/10x?

Thank you for reply, Christoph!

Will try to investigate it further.
