If you have Spartan version 4.0 or later, you have the ability to
perform semi-empirical calculations involving d-orbitals within
PM3(tm) (transition metal).  To retrieve the latest copy of parameters
for PM3(tm), get the file:

ftp://ftp.wavefun.com/pub/PARAMS/params.PM3D

and copy this file into your main Spartan directory, or into your home
directory, to affect only your personal calculations.  To aid you in
determining whether your copy is up to date, I include a list of the
supported metals from the beginning of the file to compare against
your own:

# elements contained in this file:
#
#	Titanium
#	Chromium
#	Manganese
#       Iron
#	Cobalt
#	Nickel
#	Copper
#       Zirconium
#	Molybdenum
#	Rhodium
#	Palladium
#	Gadolinium
#	Hafnium
#	Tantalum
#	Tungsten
