nwpw band energy problem.

Dear all,

I'm trying to calculate band structure of ZnO system with nwpw.

The calculation ended well but I couldn't obtain expected energy of it.

My input generated nearly same band structure feature with reference ZnO system but the energy is shifted toward high level. (ref HOMO: neary zero, my HOMO: almost +7..)

Could you tell me what the wrong part of my input file is?

Or... I also wonder if this case is the problem of pseudopotential.
