Dear all,

I would like to ask about a ZnO vc-relax cell that I have been doing just 
for testing. I get a cell parameter that is about 4% off the experimental 
value and the c/a is well off as well.
I do not know what is wrong with this.

I do understand that this is an odd way to do wurzite but I want to test 
the setup for something else.
Can you please help out ?  Thank you and let me just say that the 
assistance that I have got from the forum so far has been outstanding.
