Grid specifications for option 4

A. Evenly spaced rectangular grid. Three cards are required:

KTape,XO,YO,ZO —output unit and coordinates of one corner of grid. If KTape is 0, it defaults to 51.
N1,X1,Y1,Z1 —number of increments and vector.
N2,X2,Y2,Z2 —number of increments and vector.

N1 records will be written to unit KTape, with N2 values in each record.

B. An arbitrary list of points. Only one card is needed: N,NEFG,LTape,KTape.

The coordinates of N points in Angstroms will be read unit LTape in format (3F20.12). The potential (NEFG=3), potential and field (NEFG=2), or potential, field, and field gradient (NEFG=1) will be computed and written along with the coordinates to unit KTape in format (4F20.12). Thus if NEFG=3 for each point there will be 4 cards written per point, containing:

X-coord,Y-coord,Z-coord,Potential
X-field,Y-field,Z-field,XX-EFG
YY-EFG,ZZ-EFG,XY-EFG,XZ-EFG
YZ-EFG
