The problem I have is exactly how to obtain delx, dely and delz for the
specified pairs I want to change.
I need to select them based on their atom index, but there is nothing in
ew_directp.h that resembles to the atom index
and I assume that I need to figure out how this is done through the indexes
I mentioned to you.

After that, doing calculations, updating the forces and so on is fine,
however I have no way to select coordinates for
the pairs I want to change and for which I need to get delx,dely and delz.


Sincerely,

Antonios
