Dear Prof. Cheatham:
a fragment of the output follows.
==================================================
FYI: No output trajectory specified (trajout), none will be saved.
PTRAJ: Successfully read the input file.
Coordinate processing will occur on 1000 frames.
Summary of I/O and actions follows:
INPUT COORDINATE FILES
File (../prod.mdcrd) is an AMBER trajectory (with box info) with 1000 sets
OUTPUT COORDINATE FILE
NULL entry
ACTIONS
1> CENTER to origin via center of geometry, atom selection follows :391
7> IMAGE by molecule to origin using the center of mass, atom
selection * (All atoms are selected)
7> DISTANCE: between the atoms selections center of mass will be
saved to array named efesf
Atom selection 1 is :391.Na+
Atom selection 2 is :60.CZ
Data will be dumped to a file named dist
Processing AMBER trajectory file ../prod.mdcrd
DISTANCE: box angles are zero, disabling imaging!
==================================================
