Dear Caty, You have to make an index file containing groups for each type of atom in one of your tails (e.g. the sn1-chain), that means for dppc you end up with 15 groups: C11, C12, C13, ... Each group will have 100 elements.
For the sn2-chain you need to make a separate index file.

I have read in the manual that the program can gives an idea of the ordering of a molecule from head to tail and I have read that I have to construct an index file, but I don't know how I can group all the CH2 segments that are necessery for this calculation. I will appreciate your help, thanks in advance! Caty.
