[Wien] negative eps-1 and very large value of eps-2

Dear Prof Peter and Gavin,

I have followed all of your advice (mentioned at the end of this email)
but still, I am getting negative eps-1 and very high value of eps-2.
[Wien2k_17.1 with joint.f provided by you in the list]
[case is -sp+-so for PbCrO3]


If I do not add plasma frequency and keep TETRA  0,000  then eps looks
better than other situations (see TEST1)


my case.inkram is (I did many test with every possible combination but all
eps looks wrong, some test are kept below this standard procedure):


after plasma frequency

  0.1    Gamma: broadening of interband spectrum
  0.0    energy shift (scissors operator)
  1      add intraband contributions? yes/no: 1/0
 1.57 1.57 1.13   plasma frequencies  (from joint, opt
6)                        >>> my plasma frequency was   2.4745   2.4745
1.2914
  0.20 0.20 0.20  Gammas for Drude terms



the process that I followed

x lapw1  -up
x lapwso -up
changed TERTA to 101.0
x lapw2 -so -fermi -up
x optic -so -up
x joint -up (switch 6)
x joint -up (switch 4)
x kram -up (with case.inkram  file with plasma frequency as mentioned above)



What  I am getting is:
