Hi Marc

   Thanks for the help. I have a situation where i see some conformational
movement in a particular direction in protein (using classical MD), i want
to see for how much time does it continues the same path. I think what i
can do is run 2 simulations (one classical and one accelerated) to see if
there is some increase in the speed at which the protein changes
conformation. In this case i wont rely on mdinfo data but on actual motion
within the protein.
   Meanwhile i will read the manual and references as you suggested.
   Please correct me if my approach has error.
   Please advice if there there is another way.


Regards

Abhilash
