Hi Justin,
Thanks again. I made and used coord.xvg with command
g_analyze -f coord.xvg -ac autocorr.xvg      and I got a huge file that I
think I need to average over it. Would you please let me know how I can get
a nice average curve? Also I can see that all of them starting at 1, but I
do not think the average is going to 0 finally (my system is 216 spce water,
20ps). Is this because the simulation time is not long enough?? Many Thanks
in Advance/Jamie
