Dear users,
In userguide i read
Please note: The total DOS is equal to the sum over the atoms of the total-atomic DOS (inside spheres) and the interstitial-DOS. 

according to this passage the total-atomic dos is dependent on the radius of atomic sphere,it seems unreasonale because the number of electrons below Ef should be a constant,it may  depend on the ionic or covalent radius, but should not the muttfin-tin radius. If the number of electrons below Ef changes with the atomic sphere changes, then does the number have any
meaning? Maybe i have made a mistake.
                                                 yours sincerely,
                                                   hongxia
