Dear Daniel,

Thanks for the reply. Now, as a trial run if I do with 6 vectors, I can
able to get the S2 order parameter, which seems to be reliable. Here is the
the part of output looks...

*************************************************
PTRAJ: Analyzing accumulated data

vector S2
----------------------
    0 0.98037
    1 0.99997
    2 0.95542
    3 0.99089
    4 0.96454
    5 0.99974
**************************************************

Thanks and regards
Anu
