Dear Karolina,

AFAIK a 'reference' is limited to a single structure.

Reading in two trajectories in a row should be no problem for cpptraj,
as you can give several trajin commands.
For the comparison of the two trajectories you could then use e.g. a
2D-RMSD-plot or perform a cluster analysis on the combined trajectories
with a subsequent inspection of the distribution of the cluster
structures between the trajectories. Or you could monitor some other
properties of interest and compare those values.

Regards,

Anselm
