/*
 * GROMACS file format reader for VMD
 *
 * This code provides a high level I/O library for reading
 * and writing the following file formats:
 *	gro	GROMACS format or trajectory
 *	g96	GROMOS-96 format or trajectory
 *	trj	Trajectory - x, v and f (binary, full precision)
 *	trr	Trajectory - x, v and f (binary, full precision, portable)
 *	xtc	Trajectory - x only (compressed, portable, any precision)
 *      top
 * Currently supported: gro trj trr g96 [xtc]
 *
 * TODO list
 *   o  velocities are ignored because VMD doesn't use them, but some other 
 *      program might ...
 *   o  gro_rec() assumes positions in .gro files are nanometers and
 *      converts to angstroms, whereas they really could be any unit
