AMSinput
********

This version of the GUI has unified the input modules for ADF, BAND,
ReaxFF and other packages. The new input module, typically called
AMSinput, can now prepare the input for  all of the old methods, as
well as for new methods like DFTB, Mopac, UFF and so on.

After starting AMSinput, you will notice a bright colored menu 'ADF'
on the left of the panel bar. Depending on your license, it might read
ADF, or BAND, or one of the other methods. If you click there, you
will get a pull-down menu that allows you to switch the method. Thus
effectively you can turn AMSinput into BANDinput, or ReaxFFinput, and
so on.

In the SCM menu you will a New Input command. This command will start
AMSinput. Next you can switch to BAND mode, etc, as just described.

The unified interface makes it possible to do things like reading a
crystal structure file (which will cause AMSinput to switch one of the
methods supporting periodicity automatically). Next you can build
super cells, cut out clusters,  and switch back to ADF without
periodicity. No need for extra licenses, and no need to copy/paste
between GUI modules.

The Main panel for some methods (like DFTB and UFF) contain a 'Run'
button. If you press that, the current method will be started
interactively, with the geometry of your system updating on the fly.
The main use for this is as a pre-optimizer, no files will be saved
and only the geometry will be updated.
