[Ifeffit] Fwd: Icosahedral cluster coordinates

Hi Zohair,

I'm posting this back to the list, because I couldn't solve the  
problem. I did experiment with your file for a bit; it works fine for  
the atoms up to 4 angstroms, but ones much past that make feff fail.  
Maybe someone else can suggest why feff is choking on what appears on  
inspection to be a valid file. (Note to others on the list: the  
attached feff.inp file is the one that doesn't work; the pasted one is  
my original, and does work.)

As for atoms being able to work with icosahedral structures, that will  
probably never be possible. Atoms is designed to work with crystal  
structures, and icosahedral clusters are not crystals; i.e. they don't  
have translational symmetry. A separate helper application would have  
to be written for this kind of cluster.
