Yes, you are right. In that case you should not use W. Some years ago I
have written a small program "broadening" as a replacement for
lorentz. I does exacty as you suggest: takes the unbroadened L_III, and
does both splitting and broadening.

If I find this little program somewhere in my archives I'll send it to
you (I hope I'll find it).
