  The package "fhi96md" is an efficient code to perform density-functional
theory total-energy calculations for materials ranging from insulators to
transition metals. The package employs first-principles pseudopotentials, and a
plane-wave basis-set. For exchange and correlation both the local density and
generalized gradient approximations are implemented. The code has a low storage
demand and performs efficiently on low budget personal computers as well as
high performance computers.
