thanks Prof Case,
I had an error in my input file, now it seems working very well,
and thanks to Niel to have fixed the sff2.c file, now compatible with
bsc0.
sincerely
claudio

You generally cannot start newton-raphson minimizations until you are at
a pretty low rms gradient, say 10**-5 or better. You many need to run
*lots* of conjugate gradient steps before switching over, and set a
much lower target rms gradient.
