 ==== IMD output ====
+An analytic IMD potential which can be used with the ''tersoff2'' option of IMD is written to ''*.imd.tersoff.pot''.
+This file, however, may not be used as a potential file for IMD. Instead, its contents need to be copied
+INTO the IMD parameter file.
 ==== LAMMPS output ====
------
+The potential can also be written in LAMMPS format. The name of the output file is ''*.lammps.tersoff''.
