A file with the g96 extension can be a GROMOS-96 initial/final configuration file or a coordinate trajectory file or a combination of both. The file is fixed format, all floats are written as 15.9 (files can get huge). GROMACS supports the following data blocks in the given order:

- Header block:
  - `TITLE` (mandatory)
- Frame blocks:
  - `TIMESTEP` (optional)
  - `POSITION/POSITIONRED` (mandatory)
  - `VELOCITY/VELOCITYRED` (optional)
  - `BOX` (optional)

See the GROMOS-96 manual for a complete description of the blocks.

Note that all GROMACS programs can read compressed or g-zipped files.
