I calculated the potential with awk and with csg_boltzmann. It gives
the same shape of the curves but in the case when I used awk the
minimum of the potential has negative value. Should I shift the
minimum of the potential to zero? Does csg_boltzmann do it
automatically?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Sergio
