Reusing autogrid maps in autodock

["Trevor Kramer" <tkramer' at \`hampshire.edu>]

 Hello,
 I am currently using autodock3 for a research project and have a
 question regarding its relation to autogrid.  I have setup autodock to
 automatically screen a large library of molecules by seting up the
 parameter files for each ligand and then running autogrid3 and then
 autodock3.  Since autogrid takes a significant period of time I was
 wandering of it was possible to reuse the grid maps it generates for all
 the runs.  The same macomolecule is used in each case and the size and
 position of the grid is the same.  I know I would have to run autogrid
 once so it would generate grid maps for all supported atom types but
 would this work? The dpf file also mentions the maps.fld file which may
 need to be created for each run.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank
 you.
