Dear , Paolo , Qe user

with your help i was able to run the epsilon.x input to calculate the 
dielectric function for bulk Ptse2 , which is a semi_metals

now after having the results i have another problem , the value of the 
reel and imagenuarry part of the dielectric constant are very large ,

which give me PLEASE  a clue on which part of my input file cause this,?,,
