You can do it with any atomic code you like, as they are calculated with
ab-initio codes. Actually, we are planning to release them to the
public, but in contrast to DFTB+, their documentation is non-exisiting
and it is quite easy to make unnoticed mistakes. Therefore, they would
need some polishing, before we can release them to the public.

As for English literature, you could have a look at

Chem. Phys. 309, 23 (2005)

from the same author.
