[molpro-user] UMP2/uhf for natrual orbitals

[Tatiana Korona]

Dear Joachim,

One can however install a program of Mihaly Kallay (MRCC), which is interfaced 
with MOLPRO. This program uses both alpha and beta orbitals if UHF is performed 
before calling it (of course it is not as effective as Molpro-CCSD:-).

Best wishes,

Tatiana
