Dear Prof. Marcus & Prof David;

I think there is no image problem as the dry mdcrd file has been generated
by using autoimage command

trajin md1.mdcrd

autoimage

strip :WAT,Cl- out prefix stripped

trajout md1_dry.mdcrd


As per the suggestions of Prof D. Case I think the following should work (I
will try it asap).


trajin md1_dry.mdcrd

reference Full_Mini_dry.rst
rms reference out rms_min.dat .CA

average av.pdb * pdb nobox


Then


trajin md1_dry.mdcrd
reference av.pdb
rms reference out rms_min.dat .CA
atomicfluct out bfactor.dat :1-198.CA byres bfactor

I think the above mentioned script is fine. Please point out if there is
any mistake or improvement or easy way that might act well.

Regards;
SB
