Dear users,
Is there any way to fix atomic positions while relaxing the unit-cell with 
cell_dofree?
I tried cell_dofree='z'
with
ATOMIC_POSITIONS (angstrom)
Atome1  X Y Z          [some unfixed positions]  
Atome2  X Y Z 0 0 0 [some fixed positions]


But the fixed atomic positions still move along 'z' even when their forces are 
multiplied by 0.
The code goes from angstrom to crystal coordinates:
the atomic positions are preserved in crystal coordinates but not in angstrom 
coordinates!
... meaning that the inter-atomic distance is not preserved.

Regards,
