581   PALM's topography features have been frequently applied within the last years, but there may be still some parameter combinations which have not been used so far, and which may not work properly.
582   \par\bigskip
583%    For example, the combination of topography and non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions has not yet been tested
584%    because both features have originally been introduced separately for different research projects.
585%    \par\bigskip
586   Therefore, we ask you for your responsibility and contribution:
587   \begin{itemize}
588      \item{Please always check your PALM setup carefully. PALM is not a black box.} 
589      \item{For example, design a simple case and test your expectation.}
