Dear netters, 
	I'm looking how to print from G94 some hamiltonian matrices. 
Something I found but many questions are still opened.  I will use the
terminology of the famous A.Szabo & N.Ostlund 'Modern Quantum Chemistry'
book. How to print: 
 1.Fock matrix F (Probably the easiest way is to use NBO block: $NBO
keywords FAO, FNAO, .....-any basis set can be chosen) 
 2.Core-Hamiltonian h(1). (Can be printed by using IOP(3/33=1-5) to print
one and two electron integrals) 
 3.An effective one-electron potential-the Hartree-Fock potential v(1). 
I have no idea how to get it.  
Presumably F=h(1)+v(1). It is possible to print two electron integrals, 
but how to treat and relate them to v(1)? 
 Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your
answers. 
	Sincerely,
				Sergei Tretiak

Dear Netters,

I am looking for any references to molecular mechanics force-field

As I suspected, this is a problem tackled by many.  I've collected all of
the responses that have appeared on the list and in my mailbox together
here.  The method that I used was to use the -spline function of Babel,
since I was already familiar with the program.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Pat Walters <pwalters@portal.vpharm.com>

Babel can do this.  Matt Stahl added some code to create a spline
between two structures.  If you contact Matt (stahl@laura.harvard.edu)
he can give you the details.

From: Ernest Chamot <echamot@xnet.com>

MOPAC, being a semiempirical method, can handle a much larger system than a
Gaussian ab initio calculation, and I thought that MOPAC would do the job
for you with a "SADDLE" calculation, selecting XYZ to keep the calculation
using cartesian coordinates, rather than internal coordinates.  I tried it
out, though, and the MOPAC Output file does indeed have the initial and
final geometries in cartesian coordinates, but the intermediate steps are
all in internal coordinate format!

You should be able to convert each of these internal coordinate Z-matrices
into a cartesian representation with an additional MOPAC run (1SCF) for each
step, but I'm afraid this isn't a very elegant solution.

From: Wayne Huang <huang@mazda.wavefun.com>

Seems you want to a dynamic constrain exercise. Coordinate driving which
allow one to generate a list of molecule by promoting its geometrical
parameters (can be more than one simultaneously or in sequence) of a
single structure, but this requires optimization of some sort, at least MM.
