[gmx-users] S-type Hydrogen bond correlation function

Yes, i do write velocities to output trajectory at 10 fs. But i
understood from the thread(below link)
that 'trjorder' do not save the velocities....

 http://oldwww.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2003-May/005681.html

I don't know is there any other way we can do it in the new version.
Thanks.
Rama
