[Wien] 4f multiplet

Hi,
I could confirm the problem of spaghetti.

It is in spag.f.  It parses only 80 characters of the corresponding line 
in the case.qtl file:

   JATOM  1  MULT= 1  ISPLIT= 1 
tot,f,(3;-3),(3;-2),(3;-1),(3;0),(3;1),(3;2),(3;3),s, 


This truncates the text to this extra "(", leading to the problem.

The attached  spag.f.gz should be copied into SRC_spaghetti, unzipped 
and recompiled using "make".

Best regards
Peter Blaha
