   * Computational parameters such as tolerances, thresholds have been carefully calibrated. Usually they do not need to be changed.   * Computational parameters such as tolerances, thresholds have been carefully calibrated. Usually they do not need to be changed.
-  * gprint,basis,orbitals may be inserted so that these data are available in the output file; it however makes the output file larger.+  * ''gprint,basis,orbitals,civector'' may be inserted so that these data are available in the output file; it however makes the output file larger. Use e.g. ''gprint,orbitals=2'' to print occupied and two lowest virtual orbitals
   * Molpro uses a default memory size [[general_program_structure#memory_allocation|(see here)]] which should be sufficient for small systems. When requesting more memory, it is recommended to first get some experience about the memory necessary, and then request a reasonable amount of memory, and not astronomic memory for small systems.   * Molpro uses a default memory size [[general_program_structure#memory_allocation|(see here)]] which should be sufficient for small systems.

   * The units have to be correct (Angstrom versus bohr). By default, xyz input is in Angstrom, while z-matrix coordinates are in atomic units.     * The units have to be correct (Angstrom versus bohr). By default, xyz input is in Angstrom, while z-matrix coordinates are in atomic units.  
   * A geometry which strongly deviates from the experimental geometry may cause convergence problems. This may be due to unrealistic bond lengths or angles. E.g. breaking a bond may require to change the wave function card or method (remember the text book example of H<sub>2</sub> with a large bond length, RHF versus UHF).     * A geometry which strongly deviates from the experimental geometry may cause convergence problems.
