[gmx-users] t_trxframe speed units

[aherz]

I will try this, thx for the help.

Anyways, what is the correct way to do what I want with gromacs 4?
(apparently the setup I tryed to use worked for gromacs 3, since I
ported the input data
from old sims and now I'm trying to recreate the old results).
