Trajectories are read on stdin, that is, you would invoke something like this:
nmanal -i nmdin -o nmdout -v vecs -m mass < trajectory-file
Note the "-m mass": you need to have a file (default name is "mass") whose
free-format contents contain the natom masses for your system.
Heaven knows, of course, if ntrun=8 in nmanal actually works. This was all
re-written for Amber 8 (see the "projection" command in ptraj).

The format for quasiharmonic modes and for "real" normal modes is the same.
....good luck...dac
