[CPMD-list] test calculation problems...

I wrote that little input file. I too am new to CPMD. I wanted something simple that a couple coworkers could use just to get a rough idea about what it's suppose to look like. I don't even know that it makes any sense. I've had trouble getting my other jobs to run and haven't had a chance to sort out the problems. I'd use the test cases from http://www.cpmd.org/CPMD/contrib/cpmd-test.tar.Z which requires the username and password you used to download CPMD to test the installation. There they have a whole set of cases that actually work. :) Perhaps I should remove that page...

Hope that helps clear things up.
