[DFTB-Plus-User] KeepStationary

[Linas Vilciauskas]

Dear Ben,
I'm tracking the coordinates as printed in the .xyz file. I can see
that they are not folded back into the box, which should also be the
default behaviour (ShowFoldedCoords = No; according to the manual).
Moreover with folded positions it would be impossible to see the COM
moving.

Cheers,

Linas
