Hi David.

Just tried it, and it isn't getting not even funny!

Ok, without using the nmol flag, calculated total, potential and kinetic
energy.

Results:

Potential                  -5109.46    69.1951     68.569   0.128686
32.1718
Kinetic En.                 3838.21    67.9417    67.9418 -9.04753e-05  -
0.022619
Total Energy               -1271.25    96.7844    96.3384   0.128594
32.1488

As all can see: The total energy doesn't appear from the simple sum of
kinetic and potential.

I'm not expecting this to be a bug. But I'm not quite getting what am I
forgeting. What kind of contribution can be lacking where?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Sincerally yours,

Jones
