start a new simulation based on the final configuration from a previious one

[mhaeri]

Hi,
I ran a full  MC simulation consisting of 10K init, 50K equil and 200K production runs.
I then tried to run a new simulation but using the binary file from the a.m. simulation as basis. it did work ( there was a Restart folder which I renamed to restartInit first and then ran a new short simulation with restart option ON in simulation.input and 0 init, 1000 equil and 50000 production. But I am getting very different energy values ( about 3 times). Where did I get it wrong?

ii. Also  I was wondering if it is possible to make a run in progress with 70K equil previously set in input file to extend to a higher cycle numebr say , 150K before production run has started ?
many thanks
