Dear Vlad,

since you are presently studying h-bonds maybe you could answer this
question of mine. Do you know what is the meaning of the lifetime
parameter, the number after (in parenthesis) and of the maxocc
parameter, what are the units used for these three (or two since the
first two have the same units) parameters?

Thanks in advance!

Sergey
