[Wien] A few (more) elementary -so questions (with onsite -eece)

I am a newbie at -so, so a few simple questions.

a) What is the meaning of the orbital moment in case.scfdm* ? Is that the
average direction projected to the global axis system?

b) What is the physical significance of the orbital moment being parallel
(or not quite parallel) to the direction used in case.inso?

c) I understand that the results for different directions of B in case.inso
reflect the magnetic anisotropy, but what are the units of field (if any)?

d) What else is worth looking at? The partial orbital moment (:POM) seems
relevant, but what exactly is it?

e) I am "blindly" trusting that initso knows what it is doing, and have
left the "B" symmetry operations in case.struct (although I remember
symmetry operations being split into these two classes everywhere in the
code). This seems to conflict with Pavel's notes, although those may be too
old.

Thanks.
