[gmx-users] mutation FE calculation with oplsaa

[Maik Goette]

hi

1. Yes, you have to define both A and B parameters. As far as I 
understand, GROMPP can't know, that the first parameters it finds are 
those of the B-state, not the A-state.
The parameters are directly taken from the FF files for the atom 
pairs,triple and quartetts.
