I don't think you are right about this. Sander (and cpptraj and I
think pmemd as well) determines the number of grid cells in each
dimension using the length of the *reciprocal* cell vectors, which is
the inverse of the fractional coordinate system. Because this
determination is done in reciprocal (fractional) space, it doesn't
matter if the unit cell is orthorhombic or not. All of the "gridding"
during the pair list build is also done in fractional space, so I
think the pair list builds are fine. Maybe I'm not understanding what
you're saying the problem is though. Do you have a specific test case
where the pair list is not properly set up (i.e. an atom that is
within the cutoff of another atom is skipped)?
