Re: [AMBER] hbond in ptraj and cpptraj

Hi,
I double checked to be sure I've done it correctly and it seems that the
big differences in hbond occurance calculated by ptraj and cpptraj are
present despite the exact same settings of the distance and angle cutoffs
(3.2 and 120, respectively).

Regards,
Piotr Maj
