Dear Users,
I used cif2qe.sh shell in PW/tools directory to convert rutile.cif to

QE input. I got following errors:

awk: 29: unexpected character '&'
awk: line 75: syntax error at or near [
awk: line 99: syntax error at or near [
awk: line 101: syntax error at or near [
awk: line 105: syntax error at or near [

===================================
This is rutile cif:
