I found the error. Feff7 was in the wrong directory: IFEFFFIT 
(together with a copy of feff6l) instead of BIN.

Sorry for being thoughtless and the trouble.

Yes, I understand this, but my question was much simple, actually. 
The plot in the ppt I sent yesterday (VG8) shows that the fit curve 
stops at 12.25 A-1 although kmax = 14.3 in the 'Fourier and Fit 
parameters' window. 12.25A-1 is the default upper limit for the 
forward FT and fit and when I change this value manually or in the 
preference (e.g., to 14.3), the plot still ends at 12.25 A-1.
