[Pw_forum] cpmd2upf conversion

[Jonathan Breeze]

Thanks for the help Paolo, with regards to the CPMD potential. I'll have 
a look to see if it is a logarithmic mesh (if possible).

On the matter of D3, I will do what you suggested and update soem input 
data I used with version 1.1.2  and see if they agree.

Thanks

Jonathan
