Hi,

I am trying to restart a qst3 transition state calculation in G98W from a checkpoint
file, but am continually getting syntax errors in the output file and the job is being
terminated.  The following error is reported in the out file:

# HF/6-31G* scf =qc pop=mk iop(6/33=2) iop(6/46=2) opt=(restart,qst3, 
 MaxCycle=9
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  QPERR --- A SYNTAX ERROR WAS DETECTED IN THE INPUT LINE.
                     
                     '
 Last state="OPT2"
 TCursr= 9023 LCursr=****
 Error termination via Lnk1e in c:\program files\Gaussian98\l1.exe.

Any sugestions?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Joey Harriman
