Dear Jai and Quantum Espresso friends,

Please give second thoughts to the error message:
1) Maybe the error message is not totally correct
2) Maybe the file name is not correctly spelled, note the use of capitals.
3) Maybe the file cannot be read by the user running the program.
etc.

It shouldn’t be hard to solve this particular error.


Met vriendelijke groeten,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
With kind regards,
