[DFTB-Plus-User] No file name eigenvec.out

Hello Kim,

That behaviour is due to ASE, not DFTB+ (unless it is a modified version
of DFTB+).

For whatever reason it is requiring the wave function coefficients from
DFTB, the manual describes how to write these out (keyword in the
Options block for the version DFTB+ 1.2 release). You may want to ask an
ASE expert why its doing this.

Regards

Ben
