Useful .vmdrc file

VMD has some useful features, but also a number of irritating startup options. Fortunately VMD is highly configurable. Add the following in a file calle .vmdrc for improved (IMHO) startup behaviour. Also setting 'alias vmd="vmd -nt"' in your .bash_alias prevents the startup advertisement. --mp466 02:49, 30 November 2009 (GMT)
