Hi guys
Sorry about the wrong subject in the previous e-mail. (I just hit reply).

It's preferable to start a new email entirely. Archival software sometimes uses the information in email headers, which might not match up properly if people start emails from the middle of other discussions' threads.

I have been running gromacs for a few months now with no real problems
however some of my numbers differ from my supervisor's who uses DL-POLY.
Anyway discussion of the discrpnacies has led me to questioning aspects
of my topology file below (exerpts). We created the topology ourselves.
I always thought that the set up below would calculate 1-4 interactions,
but having read through the archives I am now confused. Do I have to
give a pair list in topology file, or is gen-pairs = yes sufficient. I
never created a pairlist as I thought that gen-pairs would create it
from the parameters in atomtypes.

The example in manual section 5.7.1 seems to describe the use of gen_pairs well enough. 5.3.4 may also help. You need to be clear about which force field you are using and how its parameters are expected to be combined to produce 1-4 interactions. You haven't given us enough information to help with that...

If this is your topology, you have much bigger problems than pairlists. You have only two atoms defined such that your molecule has a net partial charge. If you're exerpting stuff, please indicate that explicitly.
