Hi Jason,

Thank you very much for your help, but could you tell me about the Bugfix.4
in Ambertools1.4 which is mentioned:

bugfix.4: Fix to parallel *ptraj* when *compressed trajectories* are input.
Is this compressed trajectory corresponds to that netCDF format you have
mentioned?
Regards,
M. Reza
