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?
