<P align=left><FONT face="Times New Roman">In Your paper "PHYSICAL REVIEW B,
VOLUME 65, 033407" in Fig. 1 you present two surface state dispersion
curves for opposite spin projections. I am trying to repeat this for
the W(110) surface. May I ask you to list the key points of your calculation?
How is it possible to recognize the spin projection for surface
states?</FONT></P>
