    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>I guess you mean   lapwso   when you typed    palwso.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>when you run    x lapwso -h    you can see all possible allowed
      switches.</p>
    <p>-dn is not allowed.</p>
    <p>In a magnetic case  lapwso couples (mixes) spin-up and dn, so
      both spins are always considered. </p>
    <p>A "better" switch would be   -sp, just indicating
      spinpolarization, but we opted for   -up to indicate that the
      system in spinpolarized and when you look into lapwso.def you will
      see both, vspup and dn is listed.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>When you run    x lapwso -dn   the script neglects   -dn and
      uses  case.vsp (i.e. a non-spinpolarized potential), which does
      not exist in a spinpolarized calculation.</p>
    <p>So there is no error (in the program).</p>
