Thanks for the reply.  However, I haven't been able to find anything in
the output, even with prinlevel set greater than 5, to show any
information.  In a normal quantum phonon calculation the energy gaps
between states can be extracted, and in the many papers explaining
cpmd's path integral formulation I find discussions about converting
real coordinates to normal mode coordinates and their associated
frequencies (J Chem. Phys. 104, 5579; Comp. Phys. Commun. 118, 166,
etc.), but I'm not sure how to get at that information.  I'm prepared to
try digging around in the code a little to find this but some direction
would help...
