GROMACS doesn't natively support fluctuating charge models. How can 
charges be variable? gmx dipoles reads the charges in the .tpr file when 
doing its analysis, and computes dipole properties based on the changes 
in coordinates of the selected molecules. You can only ever have one set 
of charges being analyzed.
