Hello again

Ok, so I can't finish writing the hbseries.gnu file before I run out of memory. In order to assess lifetimes, is it completely wrong to take hbavg.dat and then take the average of the frames column? In my case 1 frame per ps --> average hbond lifetime in ps?

I'm also trying to look at residence times of WAT around ions. I use

trajin MD333.mdcrd
hbond sodium donormask :Na+ acceptormask :WAT.O out hbna.dat avgout hbnaavg.dat dist 4 angle -1 nointramol
go

in hbnaavg.dat I get this:
#Acceptor DonorH Donor Frames Frac AvgDist AvgAng
Na+_688.Na+ WAT_955.H1 WAT_955.O 16873 0.3375 2.6007 51.0838
Na+_688.Na+ WAT_955.H2 WAT_955.O 16873 0.3375 2.6007 52.0804
Na+_600.Na+ WAT_1043.H2 WAT_1043.O 14103 0.2821 2.6007 50.9209
Na+_600.Na+ WAT_1043.H1 WAT_1043.O 14103 0.2821 2.6007 51.1632
...
Where I can delete every other line. Again, is it completely wrong to take the average of the frames column in order to compare the average residence time of WAT around Na+ in different systems?

Thank you very much in advance,
David
