[Wien] TETRA for 2D system

Thank you very much Sir.
If I understand correctly, I need to initialize the bulk case and use its
case.grr file for the surface calculation and remove case.in0_grr file from
the surface calculation.

One more question:

With TEMP(S), I can not get the band gap value with the grep command on the
terminal. Is there any workaround for this?

Is there any tentative date for the new release of the Wien2k version?


Thank you
Fatima
