Dear members and developers:
I wish to ask about the default units for FORCE when asked for using
  &FORCES ON
    &EACH
      MD 1
    &END EACH
   &END FORCES

Should I expect Hartree/bohr as in wiki

Below I provide the available online description.

Thank you
Best wishes,
Victor

Force Possible units of measurement for forces.
The [force] entry acts like a dummy flag (assumes the unit of measurement
of force is in internal units), useful for dimensional analysis.
N
Newton
mN
mNewton
au_f force

Yes, Ha/Bohr.
Atomic units are default _almost_ everywhere. Big exceptions that are likely to appear are coordinates in Angstroms and grid cutoff in Rydberg.
