that's what I thought, so look at my original suggestion (Hbond vs time for
each). you'll need to postprocess the data or find a different program.
in the particular case that you mention do you really need to know the
total % if the ID1 is already 98.4%? That is almost all of the time.
Unless you are very sure that your data is well converged and independent
of initial conditions, you probably have uncertainties larger than +/-1.6%
anyway.
