[gmx-users] condensing

Derrick,

If you aren't using pressure coupling along the membrane, i.e. x-y, then 
simple change the box dimensions as required to give the needed cross 
sectional area.  editconf has a -scale option, so you can scale the x and y 
dimensions in the box by that amount.

Catch ya,
