Re: [AMBER] problem in getting required snapshots

did you try uncompressing the file yourself and changing the ptraj
script to :

trajin equil1.mdcrd 1 5000 1
trajout equil1.pdb.pdb


?

that should tell you if the file is truly compressed or not.

Also, are you positive that the prmtop is the correct one?

lastly, did you look at pdb it DID create to see if they are what you
expect?
