[Wien] NiO AFM calculation

[Bridges, Craig]

OK, fair enough. Thank you for the answer. Sorry, I just understood from the manual that this was the recommended method.

Regards,
Craig

afminput with a "supergroup" struct file will not work. The program
is not that clever to transform the different coordinate systems
(lattice basis vectors) into each other. (It might work if you start
instead of an fcc (NaCl) cell directly with a rhombohedral cell, but 
I've not tested this).

For an R lattice the angles are irrelevant and set internally, though I 
agree, it "looks" better to have them correctly in the struct file.
