Dear Dr. Blaha,

Thank you for your answer. I already figured out that origin choice two must 
be used instead of using (1/4,1/4,1/4), which really doesn't make sense.

Ah, ok. I was wondering why it was done this way. So whenever there is more 
than one choice of origin, WIEN uses the one with the inversion center (if 
present) at (0,0,0)?

True. It would help, though, if w2web would show the Wyckoff-Positions for the 
atoms entered - in this case I would probably have seen it right away.

Maybe something for the wish-list, don't you think?
