Hello,
A couple comments:
1. If you strip waters, you'll have to create a new topology file that
doesn't have the waters in it in order to analyze those trajectories. With
this new topology file, you can do exactly what you asked.
2. Strongly consider using NETCDF formats. They are compressed in size (not
quite as small as gzipped files, but similar), and much much much (add some
more muches) faster to process (and if you write them straight from
sander/pmemd, they have machine precision numbers, which is significantly
better than the truncated, formatted ASCII output of typical MDCRD files).
You can do this by adding "netcdf" to the end of your trajout statement.
For example:
trajout A6WTnoWAT.mdcrd netcdf nobox
Hope this helps,
Jason
