Dear All,

Sorry for the repeated question, but I'm a bit lost when I want to get 
frequencies of modes from quasiharmonic analysis done with g_covar. From 
what I understood in QH
omega = sqrt(kT/lambda), where omega is the radial frequency, k - 
Boltzmann const, T-temp, and lambda is the eigenvalue. In order to get 
the units right lambda needs to be in length^2*mass units. Is it nm^2*amu?
I need the frequencies to calculate entropy estimate from QH analysis. 
However, another way of getting the entropy estimate would be to get it 
from Schlitter formula. Then, I wouldn't need to diagonalize the 
covariance matrix. Is there a way to request the calculation of 
Schlitter entropy after the covariance matrix is calculated, but before 
g_covar starts diagonalization?

Thanks in advance
marcin
