I'm not certain that John ever successfully treated a symmetric dimer. I
have found examples of adding NCS and distance symmetry restraints -
which will be essential. Add the code snippet below to sa_pass2/3.tcl,
and modify the scripts, adding ncs and distSymm to the
potsToUseDuringRandomization/Annealing arguments of pass2/3 in the two
respective scripts.

Please let me know how it goes.

#
# set up the NCS restraints
#

set ncs [create_XplorPot NCS]

XplorCommand "ncs restraints group equiv (segid A) equiv (segid B) weight 1 end 
end"

#
# set up the distance symmetry
# 

set distSymm [create_XplorPot NOE]

XplorCommand "noe class symm @DistanceSymmetry.tbl 
   potential symm symmetry 
   scale symm 1.0
   soexponent symm 1
   rswitch symm 0.5
   asymptote symm 1.0
end"
