Dear David,

Thanks for you reply. I am trying to get phi and psi dihedrals by using 
g_chi, but so far I got C(t) for phi and psi of each residue, also I got phi 
and psi as a function of residue number (order.xvg). I think they are 
averaged over the time. Is this what I need for index file? Is there any 
other option to obtain psi and phi? To make the index file I need more 
information apart from those I have got. Do you know what commands could I 
use to obtain a complete information for index file?

Thanks in advance,

Gia
