[Wien] X-ray spectra

I would not know why xspec should not work for more than 2 atoms. No need
to redimension,....

Possible explanation: Could it be that your 3rd atom is H ? It does not
have a core state, thus no X-ray spectrum is possible or similar, for O
only 1s core state (not 2p is possible).

On the other hand it could be that the presence of H "crashes" the
calculation of the core states. I never tested xspec in the presence of H.

Please test once more. In case you really think it is a problem with our
code due to H, send   struct, *.in*, case.qtl files "tarred" to my
private email.
