			This package provides an C++ interface class to the VMD molfile plugins,
			http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/molfile/ and a set of LAMMPS
			classes that use this interface.

			Molfile plugins provide a consistent programming interface to read and
			write file formats commonly used in molecular simulations. The package
			only provides the interface code, not the plugins; these can be obtained
			from a VMD installation which has to match the platform that you are
			using to compile LAMMPS for. By adding plugins, support for new file
			formats can be added to LAMMPS (or VMD or other programs that use them)
			without having to recompile the application itself. The plugins are
			installed in the directory: <VMDHOME>/plugins/<VMDARCH>/molfile

			NOTE: while the programming interface (API) to the plugins is backward
			compatible, the binary interface (ABI) has been changing over time, so
			it is necessary to compile this package with the plugin header files
			from VMD that match the binary plugins. These header files in the
			directory: <VMDHOME>/plugins/include For convenience, the package ships
			with a set of header files that are compatible with VMD 1.9 and 1.9.1
			(the current version in June 2012)

			The person who created this package is Axel Kohlmeyer at Temple U
			(akohlmey at gmail.com). Contact him directly if you have questions.
