Sorry, meant to say that last email. gmxdump is all that is available. 
You'll have to work backwards from the atom numbers (starting counting 
from zero!) to get the interaction number to look up the interaction 
parameters from their list.

However, the parameters (equilibrium value, energy constant, phase) are not explicitly shown as Gromacs fetch them in the ffbonded table. My question: Is there a simple way to see (without having to look at the code) which parameters are associated to which bond length, bond angle and torsion angle?
