not necessary.<br>
<br>
For each program you can see/learn all possible switches using "-h", eg.<br>
<br>
x lapw1 -h (for lapw1), ....<br>
<br>
x lapwso -h tells you, that it does not take a -band switch<br>
<br>
The steps for an scf calc with run_lapw -lmbj are a bit tricky. Check <br>
:log for the sequence and all the applied switches.<br>

x qtl or x lapw2 -qtl are <br>
overwriting each other and only one of them should be used. In your <br>
workflow the x qtl .. will be overwritten.<br>

<br>
No, -lmbj should only be applied in run_lapw, not in x ...<br>
