[DFTB-Plus-User] Gamma centered k-sampling

Dear Pei Wang,

you can set

KPointsAndWeights {
   0.0  0.0  0.0  1.0
}

in Hamiltonian / Dftb to make a Gamma point only calculation. However, 
please note, that unless your system is large, Gamma point sampling is 
very poor, especially for DOS, which needs usually a good k-point sampling.

Best regards,

Bálint
