[gmx-users] clustering using gromos method

[XAvier Periole]

with the gromos method the criteria is the RMSD between the structure of the objects given to cluster …. two neighbours are two structures that are within this cutoff (eg. 0.25) 

obviously defining an RMSD between the two objects should make sense.
