(a) running constant pressure for a gas-phase simulation indeed makes no
sense: the internal pressure comes mostly from the solvent.
(b) As far as I can see, in the tutorial you cite, the simulations not only
have ntp=0, but they have ntb=0 as well, which is correct: without solvent,
one almost always wants to carry out a non-periodic simulation.
