[Wien] What is p-1/2 LOs ?

[Chur Allen]

   Do you mean that the El in case.inso is the energy of a p 1/2 local 
orbit,ie. the El for l=1 (LO)?
   After a calculation without SO, I check the case.scf file and  Choose the 
E-p-low(or high) as the El.Then run the calculation with SO.Is that right?I 
wondering.
