I think you might be referring to the 2010 version of the online manual (
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Dihedral_PCA), which is pretty
outdated. A lot of syntax seems to be changing fairly rapidly, so хрень
like this is to be expected. ;)
The current manual points to gmx angle, gmx covar and, gmx anaeig for
covariance analysis, and for those the updated help pages are separate:
http://manual.gromacs.org/programs/gmx-angle.html
http://manual.gromacs.org/programs/gmx-covar.html
http://manual.gromacs.org/programs/gmx-anaeig.html
