[gmx-users] g_rms

Hi again,

the -h option is my standard first step when i use all the gmx-tools and I've read and done it like every time.
I've tried to use -f2 option without using the -s and it comes out with the error "topol.tpr not found" so it's not "so optional", but it's needed also when using the -f2 option..
I've alsto tried to use the -s with my traj without using the -f2 option but it creates a matrix 2200x2200.
However the problem still remain unsolved or misunderstanded.
If i use the my only working command line
g_rms -f 2200.pdb -f2 33.pdb -s ref.pdb -n -o -m -bin 

I obtain a rmsd.xvg with 2 columns. So, which is the meaning of that value? a mean of all the rmsd calculated for that frame in respect to the other 33 refs?
Thanks
Andrea
