Dear Axel,
        If what you suggest that the problem with my file is in the
the "bin/sh" statement which does the program run properly with the
file from example18?
        Another person sent me the output when he ran my file and it
did give a large number of errors all saying that the lines below EOF
were ignored.  I did get an error message saying that the program
expected celldm(1) but I thought this was not used with ibrav =0. ?
                                                      Amos Leffler
