Hi David,
Is the paper[(David van der Spoel and Paul J. van Maaren: /The origin of
layer
structure artifacts in simulation of liquid water/ J. Chem. Theor. Comp.
*2* pp. 1-11 (*2006*)) ]already published and available online?

I tried to find it, but I could not get it.
If possible, can you forward that to the Discussion List?
Thanks a lot,
-Viswanadham
