	@b {Purpose of dynmat.x:}

	- reads a dynamical matrix file produced by the phonon code

	- adds the non-analytical part (if Z* and epsilon are read from
          file), applies the chosen Acoustic Sum Rule (if q=0)
	
	- diagonalise the dynamical matrix
	
	- calculates IR and Raman cross sections (if Z* and Raman
	  tensors are read from file, respectively)
	  
	- writes the results to files, both for inspection and for
          plotting

                    these cases the supplementary asr are canceled during
                    the orthonormalization procedure (see below).
