Hi,
By default your output files will be written in binary format. Use
binaryrestart no
binaryoutput no
in your NAMD configuration file before running your jobs.
Otherwise you would have to use a converter from binary to ascii on the
machine you've generated those files. Maybe someone else has a better
suggestion about this.
Hope this helps,
Ioana.
