[DFTB-Plus-User] Wrong input file

Dear 김한규,

Maybe, you get a size problems with those programs? Anyway, ususally it 
does not make much sense to write all geometries (in your case at every 
0.1 fs), as probably there is not much change between the images. With 
the help of the MdRestartFrequency keyword, you can reduce the 
information written.

Best regards,

Bálint
