[Wien] ELF

In principle there are 2 ways how to calculate ELF.

The "old" way was to calculate ELF directly in lapw0, but this leads to 
fairly large discontinuities at RMT. This is what the old hints on the 
mailing list refer to.

Therefore we created a couple of years later a new script (create_elf), 
which calculates tau, tauw and tautf separately in the desired plane and 
the script forms from these 3 datasets the ELF.
This is the recommended way and it seems you have done it ok.


PS: If one is new to a certain approach, usually one would first try to 
reproduce a calculation from literature, i.e. calculate ELF and compare 
it with the plots in literature. Only if one knows how it works, one 
would apply it to the desired compound.

Is it correct? If Yes, would you please, guide me how can I calculate the ELF after PBE-GGA+U calculationsin WIEN2k code using critic2 code?
