[MMTK] energy minimizing a small molecule

[Robert Jorissen]

Hi Guido

Thanks for your quick reply. I am using the latest Windows distribution of MMTK which does not contain an Examples directory. However, it is in the "regular" distribution MMTK which I downloaded recently to get some updated (i.e. bug-fixed) code. And lo and behold, there is the molecule_factory.py. This is not the only difference between the distribution I am using (the Windows distribution of MMTK-2.5.22) and the latest release, MMTK-2.5.24. (Having said that, I wish to note that very grateful that there is a reasonably up-to-date Windows version of MMTK.)

Rob
