<div><font color="#330099">Hello Everybody,</font></div><div><font color="#330099"><br></font></div><div><font color="#330099">I am trying to reproduce the results of a paper by X. Qian (PHYSICAL REVIEW B 82, 195442 2010). But in the result i am getting ******* in the transmission files. I am pasting the input files for the scattering, lead and the input file for pwcond.x. Can any one have a look on where I am going wrong. I have checked the compilers and ran all the examples in the code. They are all running fine.</font></div>
