[AMBER] Principal COORDINATES analysis

Dear all,

I would like to perform a principal coordinates (not components) analysis,
using as similarity matrix the RMSD pairwise distances.

Is there any procedure I could use within Amber software?

I know that the clusters analysis produces the above RMSD distances
matrix in a file called PairwiseDistances, but it is not in ascii format.

If there is no procedure to accomplish the principal coordinates analysis
I might diagonalize this matrix to find eigenvectors/eigenvalues and then
project the configurations onto the space of the first two eigenvectors.

But, in this case, I need to know the format of this PairwiseDistances
file in order
to use it as a input.

Any hint would be truly appreciated.

Best regards,
MP
