Hi Carolos,

I was planning to extract the 1000ps frame using the VMD. Then use leap to
convert the pdb to crd.

I read in one of the message in the amber archieve that one will lose the
velocity information. My understanding is that it is very vital to have the
velocity information, especially when you are restarting the MD. Whats your
comment??
