Subject: Gaussian's SCRF method

A bunch of simple questions regarding ab initio and Gaussian:

1. What is the newest version of Gaussian?
   Will Gaussian 94 be released?

2. What are the capabilities of Gaussian's Self-Consistent
   Reaction Field (SCRF) method?

   Gaussian 92 can do geometry optimization and frequency
   calculation in solution at HF level. Only energies for
   solvated systems can be calculated at MP2 and QCI levels.
   I wonder if the newest gaussian can do geometry optimization
   and frequency calculation with CASSCF method.
   I'm especially interested in what can be done with SCRF
   at CASSCF level.

3. Can anyone recommend books or reviews which explains
   MC and CAS SCF very well?
