Dear all

I am using the wien2k_03, and try to do some test calculation.

Following the usersguide(page 143), I calculate the Fcc Nickel. All 
parameter is from the usersguide, and the total magnetic in cell is 0.62902, 
which is closed to 0.63068 given by the usersguide.

But When I input

grep "QTL-B" *.scf

I get :
---------------------------------------------------------
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    5.36192   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.25668   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    5.25743   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.20118   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    3.75719   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.48204   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    3.73747   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.34389   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    3.79415   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.38693   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    3.75455   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.34325   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    3.78973   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.40199   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    3.73522   !!!!!!
   QTL-B VALUE .EQ.    2.36945   !!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------

Who can tell me the reason?

I don't know whether or not the "QTL-B VALUE .EQ.   XXX  !!!!   " appear 
mean that the ghost band appear? It seem that for WIEN2k, the QTL-B is very 
easy to appear. For example, when I use WIEN97 to calculate BaTiO3, 
everything is OK. But when I use WIEN2k to calculate BaTiO3. Even I use the 
same parameter, but the QTL-B VALUE appear. Although the QTL-B VALUE appear, 
but total energy and other physical value calculated by WIEN97 are very 
closed to that of WIEN2k.
