+Detailed advanced instructions for plugin writing and some scripting

+Concerns about the intended versus implemented meaning of some parameters
+in the bcc_paracrystal, fcc_paracrystal, and sc_paracrystal models have
+been brought to our attention. These have yet to be resolved and so a
+Warning has been placed on each of these models. Anyone who feels they

+encouraged to contact the Developers!
