Hi Charles,

Thanks!

I'm using a somewhat older force field (see below. The Lennard-Jones potential 
is implemented differently. For example S (radius = 1.05 angstroms) sigma is 
3.7458 in this setup. After double checking the formula given (sigma*2^(-5/6))I 
believe is wrong - it should include  division by 2 . So for S I get 
3.7458(0.561)/2 = 1.05 angstroms.

I pretty sure the sigma I should use is 4.635 to approximate r = 1.20 angstroms.

! the non-bonded parameters are approximately the same as
! DISMAN's large radii for repel=0.9, and as DISMAN's small
! radii for repel=0.75. (ECEPP2)
! the epsilon values are generally not used (and should not be)
! with this force field
! the radius is sigma*2^(-5/6)
