Dear CCL's
Just a short question. I've searched the ccl files and I found two messages 
> from people who had had the same problem, but unfortunately no answers.
I'm trying to reduce the step size of a geometry optimization (I want to 
find a minimum) using the keyword opt(StepSize=N) as written in the g98 
manual, but any time I try this, the calculation breaks with a syntax error. 
Is there a maximum or minimum value for N? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
Regards
Viv
