Sounds like you should create a formatted restart file, and write a
script (in some language) to edit the values of the velocities, and
write a modified restart file. The file format for a restart file is
quite simple: http://ambermd.org/FileFormats.php, and the nature of your
request suggests that a specialized script will be needed.
If you are comfortable with Python, Hai's suggestion is a good one: with
that interface, you don't have to worry about file formats.

It's not clear (to me) what rmsd file have to do with getting modified
initial velocities.
...good luck....dac
