27 \&\fB g_bond\fR makes a distribution of bond lengths. If all is well a
28 \&Gaussian distribution should be made when using a harmonic potential.
29 \&Bonds are read from a single group in the index file in order i1\-j1
30 \&i2\-j2 through in\-jn.
33 \&\fB \-tol\fR gives the half\-width of the distribution as a fraction
34 \&of the bondlength (\fB \-blen\fR). That means, for a bond of 0.2
35 \&a tol of 0.1 gives a distribution from 0.18 to 0.22.
38 \&Option \fB \-d\fR plots all the distances as a function of time.
39 \&This requires a structure file for the atom and residue names in
40 \&the output. If however the option \fB \-averdist\fR is given (as well
41 \&or separately) the average bond length is plotted instead.
