Hi,

Yes, functiontype 1 and 4 are identical, except that the energy gets added to different terms
in the log and energy file.

In Gromacs 4.0 (and before) to get a dihedral potential consisting of a sum of cosines with
different periodes you could do two things:
1) list multiple proper dihedrals (type 1) in the [ dihedrals ] section
2) use RB dihedrals

With 4.5 there is the new option
3) list 1 dihedral type 9 in the [ dihedrals ] section and use multiple entries
type 9 in the [ dihedraltypes ] section

When converted properly, all three will give the same results.

The update I added to the manual is only available through git currently,
but there's not much more info than mailed here.

I've put an updated manual (-4.5-beta2) on the website: http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Manual
