[Wien] Missing data in DOS plot & data file

JK, look in wherever you have the "SRC_tetra" directory, the tetra Makefile should be in there. Then once it is compiled copy the executable "tetra" to your $WIENROOT directory - where you keep the executables. - David

Dear Prof. David,

As you have mentioned I do not find the 'NaN' in the case.qtlup/dn files.
While I hope that your suggestion could help me to get the full data & plot
of DOS, I do not understand/know where/what file in which I must add the
flag that you have mentioned - I mean I do not understand which file you
mean by "tetra Makefile". I hope you can write for me and others a littler
more in detail. I also bit worried by your note that "other optimization
flags may vary ...." as whether the addition of the flag might give any
error or wrong results.

Thanks.
