Tcl_Forces / 'loadcoords' loads NOT wrapped coordinates ?

Hi,

Are the coordinates I get with 'loadcoords' wrapped to PBC ? Seems not...

I checked final structure coordinates for some atoms and coordinates for the same atoms in Tcl_Force output for the last frame. They differ. Below is some example. There is also the distances those atoms to the center of the box.

It seems that 'loadcoords' uses not wrapped coordinates. There is no information about this. So the only way is to use tclBC ?
