[gmx-users] direction_periodic

Hi,

I ran the initial part of the 0.1 nm/ps simulation again (since I deleted the 1 GB trr file).
I get fluctuating velocities for both groups around + and - 0.05 nm/ps with an
(initial) amplitude of the oscillation of 0.02 nm/ps.
This is exactly what you would expect.
