Re: [AMBER] overestimate hydrogen bonding distance

Maciej is correct - the distance reported is the donor heavy atom to
acceptor distance (as stated in the manual). I could add an option to
report the H-A distance instead. In the meantime you'd have to
calculate that distance based on the IDs of the atoms involved.
