[gmx-users] Re: g_rms problem

[Dmitry Kovalsky]

Hi David,

Thanks for the advice.
Yes, g_confrms helped me, and the RMSD values became closer enough to that of 
DeepView (however differ in third digit).

How I can get a xvg plot of RMSD not using g_rms?


Dima

P.S. May be this bug should be fixed in future? Or it is not a bug?
