 Make sure the number of step is high enough -- I had a lot of off errors when it was 30, or 300. You should also use an equilibration period -- here I didn't.
 Nothing much to see here.
 Here's the output -- without initial equilibration
and with 1000 equil steps
And that's about it. Time to start looking into doing MM/QM...
