Dear colleagues,
   for a while now I have been using a version of MOPAC 6.0
 which allows the fitting of atom-centered point-charges to
 the calculated molecular electrostatic potential.  If I
 remember correctly, it originated from Brent Besler (sorry
 if I have acknowledged the wrong person...).
 In light of recent postings about AMSOL (vs MOSOL), can someone
 tell me whether there is an AMPAC version which allows ESP-fitting
 of point charges?
 PS What are the pros and cons of AMPAC vs MOPAC?? (That should
 generate some friendly discussion ;-)
