  Hi Jens Jørgen

Thanks. I must admit that it is not really clear to me from

https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/gpaw/devel/electrostatic_potential.html

how we get the electrostatic potential from the pseudo electrostatic 
potential.

I tried to look at the source code for get_electrostatic_corrections(), 
but I must admit that I have been away from the code to long to quickly 
trace back and figure out how to correct the pseudo electrostatic potential.

Thanks,

Poul Georg and Frank
