Now you mentioned it, I do in fact have periodicity effects in some of the
pull windows. I will try to set the system in a larger box and orient groups
in a way so that I can do the 1D pulling. Should have the results in a few
days. In the mean time, did you use xmgrace to plot the histogram? How did
you get such a nice histogram graph?
Thank you
