[Pw_forum] Status of NMR again

[Stefano Baroni]

Dear Josef,

many thanks for your interest in and kind words for our work.

I just made a handful of telephone calls and I have been told that  
NMR functionalities are very close to be available in the Quantum  
Espresso distribution. There seems to be a nasty bug which is still  
escaping a close hunt, but I am confident that in a few weeks a first  
release of "pwnmr" (or whatever ...) should be available.

Once again,
many thanks for your consideration and patience.
