>hm, i want to produce one continuous trajectory from several trajectories, that are output from a REMD run. i could not find much information about this matter, but from what i read i gathered that one needs to reorder all the trajectories into a new one using the demux option in trjcat. as far as i understand it, the remd.xvg should contain the information on the replica exchanges to reconstruct their walk through the different trajectories (i.e. the temperature space). but then i might be totally wrong. i have to admit, that somehow i got a bit lost between the concept of a continuous trajectory from REMD simulations and the walk through temperature space of the single replicas. further, i simply do not understand the format of remd.xvg that is shown by trjcat -h. thanks for any help.

you do need this option  (-demux) and the xvg file should hold N+1 columns 
containing the correct permutation of replicas, e.g.

time repl 0 1 2 3  ...
0     0   1   2   3
1     1   0   2   3
2     1   2   0   3

and so on
