[Pw_forum] davico error while calculating projected density of states

[Stefano Baroni]

Dear Bipul, dear all:

please always consider that none of the people posting to this mailing  
list belong to any kind of "customer service". all of us are pleased  
to help when we can / feel like that ... none of us has to. so,  
please, refrain from sending private emails to members of the list,  
unless you have a specific reason to do so ... also, even if/when you  
get assistance precisely from exactlyy the same person you would  
address privately, when you address him/her on the mailing list,  
instead, you give others the possibility of learning at the same time  
you are learning. in conclusion, do use the list as much as possible ...

SB
