Hi,
    I have few queries regarding Replica Exchange MD.

1) I have 17 replicas , and the files are named as 
md_0.trr,......,.md_16.trr.Replica exchange 
is attempted every 100ps.
Thus starting from 0, upto 100ps, the coordinates, velocities etc. that are 
written in 
md_0.trr files corresspond to the simulation at the lowest temperature say 
313K. At 100ps, 
if there is a successful exchange between replica 0 and 1, then the coordinates 
and boxes 
are exchanged and the coordinates,etc. of replica 1 at 100 ps are written in 
md_0.trr files.
 Have I understood the process correctly ?

2) Once the simulation is over I have to use demux.pl to get the 
replica_index.xvg and replica_temp.xvg file.
The replica_temp.xvg file has 18 columns, the first one being the time and 17 
columns. 
Thus the 2nd column gives me the record regarding which replica occupies the 
lowest temp. ie. 313 K every 100ps.
Is this correct?
3) Using replica_index. xvg , I will have to use "trjcat" to make the 
trajectories continous.
when I give the command-> " trjcat -f md_*.trr -demux replica_index.xvg ",it 
attempts to 
write just one file "trajout.xtc" and gives a bus error.
But i give the command 
 trjcat -f md_*.trr -demux replica_index.xvg -o new_md_0.trr         
new_md_1.trr ......new_md_16.trr
,the command runs fine.  What coordinates are written in the new_md_0.trr( ie. 
the new continous trajectory file) ? Does this continous file contain the 
information about the replica 0 over the time?

It will be of great help if I get any suggestions regarding my queries.
Thanking You,
Sarbani
