Hi,
I spot this change in behavior, which in our case led to confusion. We use:
pam … > $inp_file_stripped'.out'
already for the pure job output, while the results were written to inp_file_stripped + '_' + mol_file_stripped according to `pam`.
I’m uncertain what would be the best option. We could rename our output of cause to append '.job' or alike. I don’t think, that an additional option to bring back the old behavior would be useful, but maybe an option to write the output to a given filename. `pam` on its own will create the output filename according to set "inp", "mol", "pcmFname" and "pot". And having an option to force `pam` to write to a given filename would be favorably.

NB: A created filename "abc_def" in `pam` could be read as "inp" + "mol", or "inp" + "pot" if "inp" and "mol" are the same and "pot" given.
