Abstract
A drying transition of a square-well fluid at a square-well wall has b een induced by increasing the separation of the walls. At some separat ions it is found that the state of the system, wet or dry, is determin ed by the initial condition of the computer simulation. The existence of such metastable states is evidence that this transition is first or der.
