[Shilpi Chaurasia]

Thanks for the explanation. I should have used apt values for nstxtcout to get what I want. 
Thanks again

> You can't print frames that aren't there.  If you saved frames using "nstxtcout = 1000" (assuming a time step of 2 fs), then you can't create frames in between.  You would need to do the run again, saving frames with greater frequency. Note that doing so will likely make your trajectory file quite a bit larger.
