[gmx-users] removing dihedral

[Francesco Oteri]

ffbonded.itp is right, grompp misses only a particular dihedral. 
Everithing is fine for bond, angle and some dihedrals.
What exactly means "zeroing out all terms for the unknown dihedrals"? It 
means that are not present in tpr or that parameters (i.e reference 
angle, multiplicity,...)
are zero?
