------------------------------------- crosscorrel.ptraj-------------
trajin ./../stack8w_no_wat.mdcrd
vector v1 :1.C6 corr :1.C4 order 2
vector v2 :2.C6 corr :2.C4 order 2
analyse timecorr vec1 v1 vec2 v2 tstep 2 norm out v1_v2_C6C4.out
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TCF starts to exceed one at some point of it evolution: please look at the end
of the output file v1_v2_C6C4.out
