by DL POLY 3 but may be added to aid alternative uses of the file, for example the DL POLY 3

Further Comments on the CONFIG File
The CONFIG file has the same format as the output file REVCON (Section
5.2.4
). When restarting
from a previous run of DL POLY 3 (i.e. using the restart, restart noscale or restart scale
directives in the CONTROL file - above), the CONFIG file must be replaced by the REVCON file,
which is renamed as the CONFIG file. The copy macro in the execute sub-directory of DL POLY 3
does this for you.

The FIELD File
The FIELD file contains the force field information defining the nature of the molecular forces.
It is read by the subroutine read field. (It is also read by the subroutine scan field in the
