Hi Ernesto,
  As with Surjit, it would be tremendously helpful for us if you
could make your trajectory file available to us. Even a small one
that exhibits the same problem would be sufficient. I just need something
that excercises the bug so that we can figure out what's wrong. If
your files loaded in VMD 1.3, then my suspicion is that our Charmm
DCD reading got broken when the endianness-swapping code got put in,
although I don't see why. If you could upload a trajectory that
causes this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!
FTP it to: ftp.ks.uiuc.edu, as binary, into pub/group/johns/incoming

Thanks!
