If it helps, I can bestow the virtues of NetCDF for you:
-- smaller trajectories
-- much faster read/write than ASCII or compressed ASCII (~order of
magnitude)
-- one corrupted frame does not corrupt the whole trajectory
-- full single precision coordinates (ASCII/compressed ascii has much lower
precision)
-- writes much faster with pmemd/pmemd.cuda/sander, making your simulations
go faster (not noticeable really unless ntwx is very small)
Not that I'm biased in any way ;).
Good luck,
Jason
