The format of the "box" command is wrong, it should be
box x 24.9 y 24.7 z 24.7 alpha 90.0 beta 90.0 gamma 74.8
Therefore, as written above, the command would have been ignored (and
you should have seen some kind of warning messages in the output).
Although the restrt file has ALL the box information, the standard ASCII
formated trajectory file only reports X, Y and Z. Thus, to get ptraj to
work correctly, you want:
box alpha 90.0 beta 90.0 gamma 74.8
This should have been properly set upon reading the prmtop file so I am
somewhat confused as to why it is coming out "cubic".
If you still seem to have problems, I'd be happy to investigate the
prmtop/trajectory to see what is going wrong.
