[gmx-users] g_sas

[Ilya Chorny]

I agree. I have six argon atoms strung together at a distance of sigma
but the sas I get for one argon atom is 1/6th the sas for the six atoms.
Water should no be able to get inbetween the the argon atoms. Is it
becasue the default probe is to small?  David could you also take a look
at the first part of of g_sorient question?

Thanks
