[Pw_forum] Wrong ELF values

[Claudia Loyola]

Hello,

First, thanks for your answers. I tried in another machine (with the same
version 4.2.1) and the result are different, but are still out of range,
first I obtained: [-0.2092:1.2504]  and now [-0.1951:0.981], I ran the same
scf and elf input file, but in different machines.
The range is the "thermometer" that shows xcrysden?, right? maybe I am
missing something... :(

Thanks a lot!
