  In a recent Comment (cond-mat/9701197) on our Letter (PRL 77, 3013 (1996),
cond-mat/9604176) Nersesyan and Tsvelik questioned the relevance of our exact
calculation of the density of states (DOS) of a 2D d-wave superconductor using
a Lorentzian disorder distribution, claiming ``that models with Lorentzian and
Gaussian disorder belong to different universality classes'', on grounds of a
comparison with a straightforward perturbation expansion in the disorder
potential. We showed in a very recent paper (cond-mat/9703047) that a rigorous
nonzero lower bound for DOS can be established without relying on the tails of
the disorder distribution, i.e. both the Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions
belong to a large class of distributions which give a nonzero lower bound for
the DOS. This proves that the result of our Letter is generic.
