the difference of energy in nebss.dat and nebefs.pl

[dxcharlary]

when I use ssneb, the energy in nebss.dat and nebefs.pl's output is different. which of them is enthalpy or the fact energy barrier?

[dano]

In the nebefs.pl script the last column is the energy relative to the first image this will get written to nebefs.dat when running nebresults.pl
... print " Image Force Stress Volume Magnet Rel Energy \n";

In the nebss.dat file the information printed is a normalized version of the path:

... Image, Distance/Sqrt(N), (Energy-E0)/N, force/sqrt(N), Directory number

Normalizing the path in this way gives consistent paths and barriers for the same saddle point modeled with a larger unit cell
