Dear Justin,

I tried it once, yes g_dist contradicts it well and gives the actual distances dy between the COMs.  Also, If I (I did this weeks back) use I think g_analyze or the utility which gives coordinates, print out the Y coordinates for the COM of the pulled group and it is the secound column printed to the pullx.xvg file.  The Gromacs instillation has been taken ove by the Chem/Computer admin so they are now responsible for it.  I also have it on my home PC, but can only use auxillary analysis scripts as it would take 1 year to run something unless I ported things to openCL, which would probably take me personally XX years.  I think however I am the only one using Gromacs here except for a 1 or 2 times a year course from the chem department....as the problem is only with the instillation here I dont know if it is a bug, or maybe an instillation problem, or something else (seems like only a 2 line get and print to file thing could do that though, or it skips the A-B=delta portion of
  the script which I have no clue where is located?)

Sincerely,

Stephan Watkins
