Dear developers/users:

I had used the cut3d command to produce a charge density file
from _DEN flie. And my choice was
8 => 3D data with coordinates (tecplot ASCII format)

After imaging the charge density, I found that the coordinates
data have the unit of Angstrom, but the charge density data have
the unit of bohr by comparing the Max el dens= **.** el/bohr^3
in .out file with that in the file given by cut3d.

If my finding was right, it seems need to make a tansformation:
1 ele/bohr^3 = 1/0.529^3 = 6.7551 ele/Angstrom^3. I am wondering
there is same problem in charge density files with other choices.

If some other users find the same thing, please inform me.

F. L. Tang
