Description:
This program calculates the volume of a macromolecule by a method somewhat akin to the Monte Carlo method, namely, by measuring how many vertices of a dense regular grid happen to be within the probe radius of the molecular atoms. The Volume is then calculated as V = V_grid * N_near / N_total = N_near * V_per_node.
