[CPMD-list] How to get the CONSTRAINT file?

Dear CPMD community,

can anybody tell me how to force CPMD to produce the CONSTRAINT file
and to do constraint MD using the Blue Moon ensemble prescription?
I am doing a Car-Parinello constraint simulation but I can not get
the CONSTRAINT file. According to the manual, it should be produced in 
constraint MD runs automatically. 
I am using Vanderbilt pseudpotentials and the OLDCODE keyword.
The program otherwise works, constraints are not ignored, the only 
problem is with the CONSTRAINT file.
Below I put most of my input file.
Thanks.

Martin Konopka.
