[gmx-developers] Reading charmm dcd files

[Ran Friedman, Biochemisches Inst.]

Dear Axel,

No special application - I just hoped to save the conversion so that the gmx 
analysis tools could work on a dcd file directly. Since I'm not the first 
one who wants to use GMX on dcd files, I thought somebody might have started 
to deal with it.

I'll surely check the molfile lib.

Thanks,
Ran.
