[AMBER] Calculating protein center of mass (COM) using vector command

Hi,

I would like to calculate the protein COM from my amber12 simulation. the
protein was autoimaged and rms fitted to a reference structure. The command
I'm using is:

vector v0 center :1-68.N,CA,C,O :1-68.N,CA,C,O out prot_COM.dat

The command seems to work and I get the output included below. However,
from looking at the mailing list, the COM is meant to be the second set of
three numbers. see http://archive.ambermd.org/201302/0377.html

However, the output is not the same as that in the link above. Not sure if
I have fully understood the vector command properly. If someone could
hopefully offer some guidance that would be great!
