Of course you are right, I was just typing faster than thinking, since
the overlap would be indeed independent, whether you read charges or not.

Are you moving the atoms? If yes, when is the geometry you use when
writing out H and S the same as the last geometry in your optimisation?

I tried it now for an H2O-molecule, and Ci^T S Cj gives the expected
result (delta_ij).

  Best regards,
