one more question about the pull code.

I have outputted the force for pulling the molecule in .xvg file. If I pulled 
the molecule in Z direction, does the positive sign in front of the force mean 
the direction of the pulling force is identical to the positive direction of 
the Z axis?

The forces written to the .trr are not decomposed in any way, so it's 
the total force acting on the atom(s) selected. Energy groups have no 
relevance here.
