Dear all,
   
  I'm using WIEN2k_04 for plot the difference charge density for spin-polarized calculation. I searched the mailing and I found this mail from Prof. Blaha in response the an email from a fellow user (see below). What does Prof. Blaha mean when he says rename case.clmvalup (dn)  (again see mail below) ? If I do that, I get an error since case..clmvalup (dn) is needed in up uplapw5.def

  When you do a standard charge density plot in WIEN for a spin polarized 
case, you will always get the spin-density (as default).

In order to calculate spin-up or dn densities seperately, you need to 
rename case.clmvaldn (or up) to something else (a file with this name 
must not be present).
