Oops, that is wrong in the paper! It is HDA in the program.

In the literature, e.g. the two papers by Starr et al. and the paper by
Xu & Berne it is said that the O-H ... O should be less then thirty
degrees, which is also what I wrote in my paper (DHA) however that does
not make sense, because that angle is more than 90 degrees in a HB.
Sorry about the confusion, but I'm sure that everyone either uses HDA or
HAD. We can reproduce exactly the numbers of Xu & Berne with g_hbond for
TIP4P and SPC/E.
