[Wien] restoring a calculation with different: k-mesh, RKmax and XC-pot

Dear Wien users
    I am performing a series of calculations for a particular system. I want 
to study the convergence of this system studying total energy against: basis 
size, kpoint sampling, XC-potential. Since I have a previous calculation for 
this system I want to know which files I need to modify in order to perform 
the scf using the previous charge-density.
    For example, in the case of k-sampling we only need to execute kgen, and 
then run_lapw; for RKmax I need to modify cas.in1(c) (Is it right?). But 
what about XC-potential (only edit case.in0)? Which files do I need to 
modify in each case?
    Thanks in advance
Ricardo

Subject: [Wien] ghost band


> Dear all,
>
> I am newer for Wien2k. I had read the Wien2k code introduced by S.
> Cottenier. In chapter 6 for linearization energies, I don’t understand
> why LO is added in case.in1 file (in what case we should add the LO),
> and how to define the energy for this LO. Can anyone explain to me?

> Currently I tried to run an interface LiTaO3/RuO2. Everything was fine

> shown: /INFO: K-LIST in CLMSUM changed in MIXER xxx /after Lapw1,and
> QTL-B value shown after Lapw2.The calculation was then stop with message
> “lapw2 crashed!” at cycle 2. In this case I used RmtKmax 5 with Kmesh
> 50. I understand that we can ignore the K-list message in cycle 1. So I
