[gmx-users] fudgeQQ (again ...)

Dear GMX-users,

Here are a followup and more details for my problem. I really hope to get
through this, so I can move on ...

I report the electrostatic energy (Uq, kJ/mol) for a molecule using 3
codes.

1. Gromacs 3.3
[default]
1 1 yes 0.5 FudgeQQ

FudgeQQ                  [moleculetype]               Uq
0.0, 0.8333, or 1.0       mol   3                    116.050
0.0, 0.8333, or 1.0       mol   2                   -413.048

2. DLPOLY with scaling factor of 0.83333
Uq = -324.68

3. My own code
Scaling factor   Uq
0.0            115.99
0.83333        -324.68
1.0            -412.81

Apparently, Gromacs gives the value without 1-4 interactions with "mol 3",
and the value for full 1-4 interactions with "mol 2", regardless of
fudgeQQ.

Did I not do something right when using Gromacs?

Thanks A LOT for your help! BTW: the Gromacs website seems down.
