Number of beads in shell model whith user-assigned sigmas

QUESTION: I get an error message saying NUMBER OF BEADS IN ROUGH SHELL MODEL GREATER THAN PROGRAM DIMENSION=2000, and the program aborts. What can I do?

ANSWER:You cannot use an arbitrarily small SIGMAMIN, because then such a number exceeds the present limit. The solutions are : (A) Try the automatic mode, NSIG=-1; see User's Guide (this may fail), or (B) Make successive attempts with smaller SIGMAMIN until the error disappears.
