1. Just use g_energy and compute potential energy. Then proceed by
definition of Hvap.

2. These are PER MOLE. Avogadro number is already included. Also see
manual please.

3. "g_energy"  gives PER MOLE of the MD systems (unit cells).
"g_energy -nmol XXX" gives PER MOLE of the molecules (XXX is the
number of these molecules in system).

Enjoy the polymer!
