-The general CHARMM formulas are as follows
+NOTE: The newest CHARMM pair styles reset the Coulombic energy
+conversion factor used internally in the code, from the LAMMPS value
+to the CHARMM value, as if it were effectively a parameter of the
+force field.  This is because the CHARMM code uses a slightly
+different value for the this conversion factor in "real

+332.06371.  This is to enable more precise agreement by LAMMPS with
+the CHARMM force field energies and forces, when using one of these
+two CHARMM pair styles.
