This type specifies the Morse potential with
periodic boundary conditions (minimum image convention[26]).
The range parameter, 8#8, the box lengths in the x, y and z
directions and the cutoff (as a fraction of the smallest box length)
must be specified using the PARAMS keyword in the odata file.
If the keyword PRESSURE is set in the odata file
then a constant pressure optimization is performed
with the energy being minimized by eigenvector-following with respect to the
box lengths at every step.
The cutoff is automatically changed in proportion to the change in box size.
Otherwise the optimizations are performed at constant volume, with no
relaxation of the unit cell.
Subroutines used: mpdiff, mlatmin.
