(for David van der Spoel, imho)

Dear David,

I am doing some similations of large water cluster with tip4p flexible model. I 
would like to include polarizability effect in the simulation, but trying it 
get twofold problem.

First, I need the input gro-file with dummy and shell particles. I failed to 
apply your utility "mkyaw" to my tip4p-structure file directly, since it 
remained in final file virtual sites MW. Then I reduced my tip4 structure to 
spc and generated correct gro-file with dummy and shell and without virtuals 
MW. But! I see that coordinates of both dummy and shell particles coincide with 
oxygen atoms! Is it acceptable or the result of some mistake of mine?

I cannot examine this (and it is the second problem), since I don't understand 
how topology file should be generated. I find here the instruction "to use 
sw.itp instead of spc.itp". But formal replacement in pdb2gmx option "-water" 
is impossible. Should I
#include "sw.itp"
into top-file manually? Is it enough? Could you give me more detailed 
instructions?

And the last question. As I know at least three polarizative models of water 
are implemented in GMX. The sw.itp file with your parametrization is in GROMACS 
distributives, the file of parameters for Roux group's model can be found in 
gmx-users archive. What about the third model (I mean the model of Gunsteren 
group)? Is it possible to get their parameter file?

Thank you in advance

Sincerely,
Dmitri
