Hi,

For Amber (sander / sqm), SCC-DFTB = DFTB. Note that the Elstner group
(where SCC-DFTB is developed) and others are now usually referring to
SCC-DFTB by DFTB2 (2nd order), as they also have DFTB3.
But only DFTB2 is implemented in sander/sqm currently, and is called
SCC-DFTB or DFTB.

Hope that clears things up.
