Second-Order CI Possible?

[The Matt]

I just started using Molpro and am trying to duplicate some calculations
I did in GAMESS to get to know Molpro.  In GAMESS, I had done some SOCI
(=second-order CI) calculations.  These are a CASSCF in an active space
(for me up to 8 CSFs with I2-, one valence hole) and then a CISD to an
external space of 16 orbitals from the original CASSCF CSFs.  In the end
these took about a 3 hours to complete (a six-state SOCI).

What I am wondering is if this type of calculation is possible in
Molpro.  I naively tried a CASSCF of this 26 orbital space but that, of
course, caused a "need more memory" error the likes of which I'd never
seen.

Is it possible, or is Molpro just not setup to handle this type of
calculation?

Thank you for any help,
Matt Thompson
