dimpy,

please remember that Q-E - like most computational software -
strictly follows the GI-GO paradigm. internally, there is no 
difference between alat, angstrom, bohr, or fractional coordinates. 
so if an input works in one case, but not in another, _you_
must have made an error in your input.

cheers,
   axel.

p.s.: before you ask: GI-GO = garbage in, garbage out.
