Thanks. 
When I run x2top I get [bonds], [angles] and [dihedrals].
What can I do if the only bonded interactions I'd like to use is harmonic
angle potential? (I mean is there a more elegant solution than 
just removing [bonds] and [dihedrals] from topology file?)

BTW I searched for description of x2top and noticed that in manual-3.2.pdf 
there is section E.148 called "x2top" and E.149 called "x2top_d". Both
are the same. Actually all manual pages are duplicated. I tried to find 
out how this manual is generated, but I haven't found anything in CVS


BTW2 I tried to compile Gromacs with -DDEBUG, but it fails (there are some
bugs in #ifdef DEBUG / #endif sections).
