To Torsten Andersen,
   
    The two machine is questions have the following specs (below). It 
seem that different values of NUME and NMATMAX is what is defining the 
memory usage of lapw1. But what would you recommend these values of NUME 
and NMATMAX be considering the type of system WIEN2k is running on and 
the type of job Dr Gotsis is running.  How would increasing and 
decreasing these values affect the job performance?

    Tru64 - DEC Alpha - 4 CPU - 4G Memory
      PARAMETER          (NMATMAX=   10000)
      PARAMETER          (NUME=   10000)

    IRIX - Origin 3800 - 32 CPU - 32G Memory
      PARAMETER          (NMATMAX=   100000)
      PARAMETER          (NUME=   100000)
