just do one yourself. carbon is rather uncritical, and use
a cutoff of either 1.0 a.u. for a "hard" or 1.4 a.u. for a
"soft" NC potential. or something in between. if you are 
willing to do some checks, i can send you an archive of similarly
created files with a precursor of the atomic code that is
in Q-E. they are converted to UPF, though, but i cannot 
guarantee they work and i don't have time to test them 
properly. just let me know.

cheers,
