Hi Axel,

Why are you so rude to people who post simple questions to the VMD mailing list?

I have been trying to use VMD to get the RDF using the dump file (atom type, attached). When I load the dump file and use the Radial Pair distribution Function tool I get the following message saying 0 frames processed and a blank plot. I have tried with Nickel structure also, but every time I get the message that '0 frames processed, frames skipped'. Can someone suggest whats going wrong?
