Hi Madhav

I can generate 64 k-points in klist but in that case *.win file will not be
generated because it is telling 10-kpoints for band structure calculation.
If band structure k-points are more than 64, I can generate 64 k-point and
create win file also. I am talking about SrVO3 example. May be I am wrong,
not an expert For generation you can do following thing:

In the lower part, put 1 instead of 12 in number of symmetry operation.

Just above 1 you have following in your ksym.

 -1 0 0 0.00000000
 0-1 0 0.00000000
 0 0-1 0.00000000
       1

Make this as following:
 1 0 0 0.00000000
 0 1 0 0.00000000
 0 0 1 0.00000000
       1

In tha last part
..........................
.......................
.......................

I think this lines you have deleted. Keep this line as it is.

I am also waiting for some expert comment.

Regards
wasim
