Dear Professor:
I download the vtstcode, and replace the chain.F with the new one,and modify the corresponding contents of makefile as the suggestion in web(SOURCE=.....). Then I recompile the vasp makefile.
When I do a work , however, I find that something is wrong with my OSZICAR as following:
10 F= -.59038872E+02 E0= -.59040185E+02 d E =-.590389E+02

13 F= -.59044392E+02 E0= -.59045573E+02 d E =-.590444E+02
why? and how to solve it?
Another question:
I have done a NEB calculation, because the former error, it has be done for almost 150 NSW (NSW=300 was set), but the results has converged obviously. how can i do?
thanks a lot.
