Actually I do not understand what you are pointing at. The velocity
autocorrelation function is a scalar property, as it is the dot product
of two vectors. Either I apply the -mol flag or not, two lines are
contained in vac.xvg: time vs. c(t)

However I think the description is outdated. It is claimed that for the
mol flag an index group of molecule numbers is required, but if the a
group of atoms is provided, it is split into the correct number of
molecules.
