[DFTB-Plus-User] Can you transform the gold parameter file from hOTBIT version to DFTB+ for me?

The format of our SlaKo files is documented on DFTB.ORG. If you know how
hotbit formats its parametrization files, you may try to convert it. I
am not aware of any tools, which would do it so far.

  Best regards,
