DESCRIPTION

       g_vanhove computes the Van Hove correlation  function.   The  Van  Hove
       G(r,t)  is  the  probability that a particle that is at r0 at time zero
       can be found at position r0+r at time t.  g_vanhove  determines  G  not
       for a vector r, but for the length of r.  Thus it gives the probability
       that a particle moves a distance of r in  time  t.   Jumps  across  the
       periodic  boundaries are removed.  Corrections are made for scaling due
       to isotropic or anisotropic pressure coupling.

       With option  -om the whole matrix can be written as a function of t and
       r or as a function of sqrt(t) and r (option  -sqrt).

       With  option   -or  the  Van  Hove  function is plotted for one or more
       values of t. Option  -nr sets the number  of  times,  option   -fr  the
       number  spacing  between  the  times.   The binwidth is set with option
       -rbin. The number of bins is determined automatically.

       With option  -ot the integral up to a certain distance (option  -rt) is
       plotted as a function of time.

       For  all frames that are read the coordinates of the selected particles
       are stored in memory. Therefore the program may use a  lot  of  memory.
       For options  -om and  -ot the program may be slow.  This is because the
       calculation scales as the number of frames times  -fm  or   -ft.   Note
       that  with the  -dt option the memory usage and calculation time can be
       reduced.
