Dear Brahma
I'm afraid I'm not. I've never employed Bachelet-Hamann-Schluter pseudopotentials in my calculations 
and I do not know if there are still codes that generate them. Why do not you try with Martins-
Troullier pseudopotentials? There is plenty of them in the ps library, and you can build your own 
pseudopotential with ld1.x
Yours
Giuseppe
