I had completely forgotten about it. I was simply pointing out that while he took into account the energy required to break the molecule upon entry to the lattice, he was neglecting the energy one got back due to molecule formation when it left the lattice. (I haven't read his most recent paper closely enough to know whether or not he is still doing that.) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
