Hi Mark,

   I've consulted the GROMACS manual and I'm working on a few things.  I
feel the explanations provided in the Hydrogen Database setion could be
aided with diagrams somehow.  I'll have a look into people that have
topologies for b-alanine to save myself trying to get the formatting of the
forcefield files right.  Thanks for your help... :)

   Kind regards,

Billy
