You can get the source from the main namd webpage....
Not sure about the notes. The source code for namd does not contain an
abundance of comments. a few emails to Jim though should get you through
if can program in c++...

Can anyone help me out as to how one can 'actually' implement this
spherical harmonic boundary conditions code? where are these source
file and are there any notes available?
