-  * For this you have to run the input file ''NaCl_gasphase.inp'' at a range of Na-Cl distances This can be automathized, so we provide with an template and you have to vary the MYDIST parameter in the input. +  * For this you have to run the input file ''NaCl_gasphase.inp'' at a range of Na-Cl distancesThis can be automathized, so we provide with an template and you have to vary the MYDIST parameter in the input.

 For this you have to run constrained MD simulations at 1K for a range of Na-Cl distances.  For this you have to run constrained MD simulations at 1K for a range of Na-Cl distances. 
-  * You have to modify the input file in the folloowing way:+  * You have to modify the input file in the following way:
     - Copy the ''NaCl_gasphase.inp'' file to a new directory and rename it to something like: ''NaCl_MD.inp''.     - Copy the ''NaCl_gasphase.inp'' file to a new directory and rename it to something like: ''NaCl_MD.inp''.
     - Change the ''RUN_TYPE''  in the new input file, from "ENERGY" to "MD".     - Change the ''RUN_TYPE''  in the new input file, from "ENERGY" to "MD".
