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.
