The first line of a trajectory file defines the number of comment records. This is followed by ``header" records.

^number of free atoms
         ^      ^      ^      ^     ^ ... Ids of free atoms
Header records are in turn followed by coordinate sets separated by the
string CORD.  
The first coordinate set contains 
all atoms.  The subsequent coordinate sets
contain only the  selected atoms (see, for example,
the CSELection statement in Section 10.1.6).
