[gmx-users] Analyzing a trajectory split over multiple files

[TJ Piggot]

Just as a note most analysis tools have a -noxvgr option to output the 
results without any of the formatting information for grace.

Also I still think the easiest way to solve your problem is to just 
initially use trjcat to concatenate your trajectory, then run the analysis 
on this.
