MOLPRO version 94.1 --- April 1994 ================================== Version 94 of MOLPRO should be installed afresh; patches from 92.x are not available. To install MOLPRO: Put all molpro94.* files and "unpack_molpro" into your home or other directory. If the distribution files are compressed, do uncompress *.Z then unpack files using ./unpack_molpro Set PATH to molpro94/bin (in your .profile or .cshrc files) then install program using makeall This should install everything. On a lightly loaded IBM RS6000/250, this takes 85 CPU minutes and 100 real minutes. Edit the file molpro94/bin/molpro.rc; in particular, change the directory given after -d to your biggest scratch directory. Verify correct installation by running the testjob suite through the command maketest On slow machines, this can take a long time (IBM RS6000/250: 120 CPU minutes). For a quick but non-exhaustive test, do cd molpro94/testjobs; molpro h2o_vdz.test and examine h2o_vdz.out to ensure that you see near the end a line of the form H2O_VDZ: No errors, max error for energy=4.94027574D-09, max error for dipole=4.85110763D-09 For more instructions see molpro94/doc/install.tex Features and changes: ===================== * Limited data and restart compatibility with MOLPRO92. * Support for new architecture types: Fujitsu VP, DEC Alpha (OSF). * Rewritten input parser allowing much more flexibility. A large superset of MOLPRO92 input is still accepted. * New geometry input in terms of standard Z-matrix. The most important types of geometry input from MOLPRO92 are still available. * Simplified basis set input. * Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. * Coupled cluster theory for ROHF reference functions (RCCSD, UCCSD), together with perturbative corrections for triple excitations (RCCSD(T), RCCSD[T], RCCSD-T). * Numerical gradients and non-adiabatic coupling elements. * Considerable reorganization of the CI program in preparation for future enhancements of closed shells. However, the program is still data- and restart-compatible with MOLPRO92. These and other changes are described in the transition document molpro94/doc/molpro94.tex. The full manual is in molpro94/doc/manual.tex. Please report any problems to werner@tc2.chemie.uni-bielefeld.de or P.J.Knowles@sussex.ac.uk
