Dear Roman and Marcella,

I had the same (maybe stupid) questions myself! ;-)
in the line '# Total charge and spin" there is always an integer total 
spin moment.
maybe that is not where one should look, is it?

Secondly .. 140 iterations.. WOW!!
are there some flag that one should put in the .inp file we should be 
aware of?
And more importantly, are the some general rule (apart from experience) one
can rely on, in the choice of the mixing/number of additional MOs/Fermi 
Dirac temperature?

Thanks again for the preciuos help,
Valerio
