hm, i want to produce one continuous trajectory from several trajectories, that 
are output from a REMD run. i could not find much information about this 
matter, but from what i read i gathered that one needs to reorder all the 
trajectories into a new one using the demux option in trjcat. as far as i 
understand it, the remd.xvg should contain the information on the replica 
exchanges to reconstruct their walk through the different trajectories (i.e. 
the temperature space). but then i might be totally wrong. i have to admit, 
that somehow i got a bit lost between the concept of a continuous trajectory 
from REMD simulations and the walk through temperature space of the single 
replicas. further, i simply do not understand the format of remd.xvg that is 
shown by trjcat -h. thanks for any help.
If I understand you want to be able to follow a replica through the temperature. This seems easy with the trjcat -demux. look at it again it is just time and then
the indice of the replica.

you do need this option (-demux) and the xvg file should hold N+1 columns containing the correct permutation of replicas, e.g.

time repl 0 1 2 3  ...
0     0   1   2   3
1     1   0   2   3
2     1   2   0   3

and so on
This file should be generated by the run no !!? I run REMD on gmx3.1 so it is
a bit different, but this file is definitely necessary.

Then if you actually have several REMD simulations, eg. 0 to 2ns, 2ns to 3.5, and so on ... you should concatenate then first then concatenate the remd.xvg
files (probably by hand) and making sure that the indices in consecutive
remd.xvg files are coherent.

have fun ...
