-  * 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".
