Hi, Pijush:

Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds complicated for me. Is there a
simple way to do so? In amber, one can do this with a simple scriple
to extract all the distances data from the .crd file (similar to .dcd
file in NAMD).

Could you give me a bit more details about the indexfile? An example
would be very helpful.

Thank you

Bo
