[Wien] Regarding WIEN2K

[Peter Blaha]

There are MANY very good codes out on the market, both with 
pseudopotentials and all-electrons.

All codes have there advantages AND disadvantages and therefore it is 
good if one (usually the supervisor) knows the merrits of the different 
methods/codes.

In any case, I always say: the best code is the code, which you can 
master, because in 99% of the cases a code could do the job, but you do 
not know how to do it with this particular code.

WIEN2k is generally believed to be a fairly user-friendly code and has 
reasonable default input settings. In addition it has a mailing list 
where one can ask questions like this.
