vlad,

i don't know the exact details of the format, but i would expect that it
should be scriptable with VMD. you can make a selection, translate it to
the origin and orient it, and then query the resulting coordinates, atom
type/names etc. and then use the information to write your internal
coordinate section with tcl (using printf style formatting with
"format").

cheers,
