Do you have Matlab, Zhenyu? I'll send you my Matlab code in a private
message (also works in octave, I believe) for computing SPME quantities. I
don't think that it does pair exclusions, but if you have just a system of
ions then it should be fine. You might be able to use this to debug your
own code. Another option would be to use mdgx in runmode = 2 (check out
the built in manual by running ${AMBERHOME}/bin/mdgx -FORCE and this will
give you a more complete treatment of your system, including all
topological details, atom by atom. It will also put information into a
file "forcedump.dat" by default (you can change the name), and all
information that would be in sander &debugf output will be encapsulated in
a matlab or octave readable script, in a structure variable whose name you
can set. If you want to make multiple such scripts for comparing different
conformations, you can then put the results in different structure
variables and manipulate the outputs as you wish.
