In the UG, it is not stated that OP is limited to a single l value per 
atom.

Yes I would like to apply OP for p and d states. I'm interested by orbital 
magnetic moment on Fe atoms (atoms 2 and 3) and by orbital and dipolar 
hyperfine field on Fe atoms and Ge atoms (atoms 4 and 5).
Let me show you the (approximate) values I have computed with lapwdm after 
SO calculations (without -orb) :

             morb(µB)            Horb(T)             Hdip(T)
pFe         0.0004               -0.06               -0.17
dFe         0.06                 +3.1                +2.6                    
pGe         -0.002                0.54               -4.64
dGe         0.001                 0.04               +0.22

Thus, d states on Fe (obviously) bring a significant contrbution for morb, 
Horb and Hdip while p states on Ge are important for Hdip.  The reason I 
have included p states on Fe is that according to Ebert et al. (J. Appl. 
Phys 67 (1990) p4576) who computed "fully relativisticaly" the hyperfine 
field at the nucleus of 5d impurities in Fe, the orbital p contribution is 
not weak (around 5 T). I agree that SO coupling is weaker in Fe than in 
5d element, but my crystal structure is very anisotropic (it looks like 
that of YCo5). I also agree that d contributions on Ge is very probably 
not relevant. These are training/test calculations for me both to learn 
how to handle Wien and to appreciate the influence of SO, OP  .....
I have also to admit that I have not yet found enough time to really 
understand OP and its relevance for p states. (that's why I try ...).

After having changed these files, what files must be deleted before 
restarting cleanly the SCF procedure?

I'm not yet able to say if this file is strange or not. Please find it 
enclosed.

Thank you in advance
