Hi,

to create some toy data I want to do a vacuum simulation of Alanine Dipeptide 
with Gromacs.
For the production run script I used the gmx-user mailing list thread [1a-d], 
the tutorial [2] and the corresponding sample script [3].

I got three questions about my production run setup:

1. comm_mode
In [1c] David van der Spoel suggests to use "comm_mode=Angular" (... remove 
angular center of mass motion ...).
A few seconds later in [1d] Gerrit Gronhof suggests to use "comm_mode=linear"
(... In addition to Erik and my suggestions, you should also remove the 
overall rotation: comm_mode=linear. ...)
I'm know a little confused, I checked the Gromacs manual and it says if I use 
"comm_mode=Angular" the center of mass translation and rotation around the 
center of mass is removed.
Do I rally need to use  something like "comm_mode=Angular, linear" ???

2. comm_grps
If I use "comm_grps="  is the default value (all atoms of system) used?

3. I changed some settings in David van der Spoel's Vacuum production run 
script [3]. The modified script is attached. The main changes are:
        ;dt= 0.004 ; MEA
        dt= 0.002 ; MEA
        ;epsilon-r= 1 ; MEA
        epsilon-r= 80 ; MEA
Are they reasonable with the other options in the script (or do I have to 
adjust also other values)?

Thanks Emal
