Sorry, I misinterpreted case.insp and case.inst, because I did not 
understand your message.

In you second email you gave enough information, so that I can 
understand what you are doing.

For a bandstructure plot you MUST NOT use :FER from case.scf2up (usually 
also not from dn) because most likely you also run x lapw2 -qtl -band 
-up. This leads to a wrong EF, because it is for a k-mesh along the 
high-symmetry lines and not a regular k-mesh in the BZ.

You must use the one from test.scf.
