Hi Justin,

My original intention was to lessen the 5 ns trajectory to transfer to another 
drive. I did

trjconv -f traj.trr -o traj_1.trr -b 0 -e 4000

When I saw the resulting file greatly lessened in size, that's when I tried as 
a test

trjconv -f traj.trr -o traj_1.trr

I knew that it was not supposed to do anything, hence my surprise upon seeing 
the file size decrease by ~25%.

No other flags were used.

I'll do your suggestion in 2 days. Am out of the lab till then.

Thanks

Gil Claudio
