Functions to make gaussian displacements, add coordinates, and multiply coordinates by a scalar have been added to vasp.pm. There is also a boundary condition function (set_bc) which uses the environmental variable VTST_BC to decide which condition should be applied.
The read_othercar has been modified to ignore any lines which do not start with a number. This solves a problem with diminit when the DISPLACECAR file contained extra blank lines.
These changes were done to simplify the diminit.pl script, which is used to initiate dimer searches for the adaptive kmc (akmc.pl).
Vasp.pm and diminit.pl changes

dimmins.pl
I've renamed the dimquench.pl script, written by Lijun, to dimmins.pl. I've changed it so it is like the diminit.pl script.
Both scripts are in cvs, along with the modifications to Vasp.pm. The vtsttools website documentation has been updated, as well as the tar file.
