[Wien] Problems in generating case.struct using shell script and overlapping of spheres with error in lapw1

Dear Ghosh,
     Yes, for the space group 166, I have the converted lattice parameters
to hexagonal setting. If you are giving Rmt value approx. between 1.4 to
3.0 for Be, then you observe an error in NN distances. So, for this, you
must allow for Set automatically Rmt and continue editing. This will take
care of your Rmt but the question is on initialization part and error in
lapw1. Please have a try on this sample (of course if you find time).
Now regarding the use of w2web, yes I want to use the shell script for
generating the case. struct file. Thanks for your information. But could I
know where the cif file use to be (or do we need to download separately).
If so, please guide.
Thanks in advance
