[DFTB-Plus-User] Frequencies and Zero-Point Energy

Hello,

Could you help me, please, to figure out how to calculate Frequencies 
and Zero-Point Energy (ZPE) corrections with DFTB+?
I performed calculations with SecondDerivatives {} keyword. It gave me 
three output files: detailed.out, hessian.out and band.out.
In these files, I could not find information about ZPE and frequencies.
Also, could you tell me what program can I use to visualize frequencies?

Thanks,
