You can also use R.E.DD.B. were you will find many examples of RESP inputs.

For instance, for the F-59 project
http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lbpd/REDDB/up/F-59/, you get the 2
corresponding RESP inputs
http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lbpd/REDDB/up/F-59/input1.in
http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lbpd/REDDB/up/F-59/input2.in
And the inter-molecular charge constraints are described in those inputs...

You can also get examples of intra-molecular charge constraints for
many other R.E.DD.B. projects.
