I believe it would be nice being able to cite the programs in a more
precise way, like also indicating which version was used. I do have a
couple of suggestions:
1. How about a standard citation to the manual, the same way we have
in Amber? I mean, a list of authors, than "AmberTools N.N(YYYY)"?
Every program could print this standard citation at the beginning of a
log file.
Or,
2. Each program authors could craft their own standard citation in
pretty much the same way, and have it in the first session of their
part of AT manual, and printed in the log file.
