Query: Comment on "Negative heat capacities and first order phase transitions
  in nuclei" by L.G. Moretto et al   In a recent paper L.G. Moretto et al [nucl-th/0208024] claim that the
negative heat capacities presented in our previously published paper
\cite{PRL2000} are "artifacts" coming from the use of periodic boundary
conditions in the Lattice-Gas calculations. We stress in this comment that this
claim is wrong: in ref. \cite{PRL2000} we did not use periodic boundary
conditions and anyhow the boundary conditions are irrelevant for the
statistical ensemble used in \cite{PRL2000}. The second claim of
[nucl-th/0208024] is that, because of the Coulomb repulsion, systems "with A>60
should present no anomalous negative heat capacities". We show that this
conclusion is contradicted by exact Lattice-gas simulations including Coulomb
forces which present negative heat capacities even for A>200.
