The history is described in the gromacs 3 article:
E. Lindahl and B. Hess and D. van der Spoel
GROMACS 3.0: A package for molecular simulation and trajectory analysis
J. Mol. Mod. 7 (2001) pp. 306-317

GROMOS is maintained solely by Van Gunsteren's group in Zurich now
(http://www.igc.ethz.ch/gromos-docs/index.html) and it has some features
that GROMACS does not have, 4D MD, some free energy features.

Groeten, David.
