Subject: Gaussian IRC Downhill

I am trying to use the Gaussian 98 "IRC=Downhill" keyword for the first
time, and the program tells me that there is a syntax error caused by the
"dowhill" option.  Does anyone have any information about doing this
properly?

Input file:

%chk=/extra1/gaussian/hultin/galOMeTS_recheck.chk
%nprocs=8

#p B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) IRC=(RCFC,Downhill,Maxpoints=150,Stepsize=5)
