Subject: ptraj cannot use compressed files?

Dear AMBER users,

I just tried ptraj with a gzipped file (.gz) and it rejected it. I wonder
why it can't work with compressed files, or will another type of
compression fix this problem (e.g. .Z). When one wants to string together
and center multiple large mdcrd files there often is not enough disk space
to uncompress all of them even temporarily, so this can get difficult.
Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Sincerely,
