+The files in this directory are a potpourri of (mostly) unrelated
+features contributed to LAMMPS by users.  Each feature is a single
+file (actually a *.cpp and *.h file).
+
+More information about each feature can be found by reading its doc
+page in the LAMMPS doc directory.  This link points to the doc
+page for all LAMMPS commands:
+
+http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/Section_commands.html#3_5\
+
+User-contributed features are listed at the bottom of the fix,
+compute, pair, etc sections.
+
+You should contact the author if you have specific questions about the
+feature or its code.
