Hi Paolo,

Thanks for your additions concerning memory reducing.

What concerns staffs related to the QHA, actually I
have written a set of programs which can calculate the
next properties:
- free energy,
- specific heat,
- entropy
- internal energy
- projected DOS and atom contribution to above
mentioned properties
- Debye temperature
- Gruneisen parameter

They use only the force constants matrix (X.fc file)
and BZ information as input.

Hopefully I will be able to add more, say correction 
bulk modulus, and the linear thermal expansion. 

Bests,
Eyvaz.
