[Wien] Problem in LDA+U calculation

Hi,
I am nearly sure that orb form wien2k can be used in wienncm, there is no use 
of spins in orb program. 
But you should test it first, use one l per atom and check if the both give 
the save potentials. If they do, then use wien2k orb in wienncm run.

regards

Robert
