[DFTB-Plus-User] question on Ewald summation in coulomb.F90

[Wei Lai]

Dear Balint,

Thanks for your reply.  If the calculation is correct, I think those
factors of 2 are for the matrix form where there is double counting.  They
were removed later when the total coulmobic energy was calculated.

Thanks, Wei
