Actually when I open autocorr.xvg I can see from data/feature extraction/
 the last set is S1295 (N=101, autocorr.xvg) which means they are 1296
graphs each with poor statistics start at 1 and coming down. To have a ACF
for a system I expect to get one graph with good statistic... I hope I make
it clear now.

Yes I removed -f and I got  tpxout.tpr and used it for g_rotacf
g_rotacf  -f f.xtc  -s tpxout.tpr  -n f.ndx  -o rotacf.xvg  -d
but the result I got is like y=2x that starts at (0,0) which y=C(t) and
x(Time,ps). Which is very strange... I don't understand what are these
results using this command. (I should mention that f.xtc contains the
coordinates of selected atoms). Many thanks for your attention and your
help/Jamie
