[Pw_forum] occupations from input

[sreekar guddeti]

Dear Sir Paulatto,
is it necessary to generate a new pseudopotential corresponding to the new
occupations because the example doesnt do so. it uses Al pseudopotential
corresponding to occupations
nl  l   occ
3S  0  2.00
3P  1  1.00
3D  2  0.00

whereas the occupations card reads
OCCUPATIONS
1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0 0.0
1.0 1/3 1/3 1/3

sincerely,
