Recently, i found out that feff.inp generated by web atoms and Demeter 0.9.26 are not the same. My main worry is in the position of atoms. For evidence, i am attaching YbVO4 (*feff.inp*) files generated by both web atoms and Demeter. With this kind of zircon type structure, one would except V1_2 at position *x/2+c/4* (3.85250). In web atoms generated file, i could see this relation clearly, while in Demeter generated file the relation reads like *x/2+y/2+c/4* instead of earlier condition. Furthermore, all atoms (except few) are represented with three coordinated position for Demeter generated file instead of two coordinated position.

Hi Raj, I don't acknowledge that there is a problem. It is certainly true that the two files have the atoms list rotated by 45 degrees relative to one another, but all the distances are the same. Although I only investigated at the level of running feff on each one and examining the first few dozen items in the path list, it seems these two feff input files yield identical results. So ... what's the problem?
