+Contents: Dump styles for writing NetCDF format files.  NetCDF is a binary,
+portable, self-describing file format on top of HDF5. The file format
+contents follow the AMBER NetCDF trajectory conventions
+(http://ambermd.org/netcdf/nctraj.xhtml), but include extensions to this
+convention. This package implements a "dump nc"_dump_nc.html command
+and a "dump nc/mpiio"_dump_nc.html command to output LAMMPS snapshots
+in this format.  See src/USER-NC-DUMP/README for more details.
+
+NetCDF files can be directly visualized with the following tools:
+Ovito (http://www.ovito.org/). Ovito supports the AMBER convention
+  and all of the above extensions. :ulb,l
+VMD (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/) :l
+AtomEye (http://www.libatoms.org/). The libAtoms version of AtomEye contains
+  a NetCDF reader that is not present in the standard distribution of AtomEye :l,ule
+
+The person who created these files is Lars Pastewka at
+Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (lars.pastewka at kit.edu).
+Contact him directly if you have questions.
