Hi John,
It was working till last night. I was playing a lot with Tcl scripting. So,
I might have done something which is causing that.
The snapshots were that of the last snapshot I got when it was working. So ,
it is rendering the same image always.
Anyways, that version was VMD 1.8.3, so I upgraded it now to VMD 1.8.4, so
everything is fine as of now.
Thanks anyways,
-Vishy.
