[gmx-users] script to remove water

[Kai Zhuang]

easier way to do this without script: use VMD

open the pdb/gro file with VMD, use atomselect command to select
everything that's NOT water.  then use writepdb command to write your
selection to a pdb file.

look at VMD's tutorial/reference for usage of atomselect and writepdb
command. if i remember right, tutorial go through a exact same senario
like yours, to remove all waters from a system.
