Netters,
	
	Recently I came across a paper by R. K. Nesbet in JPC
entitled "Reference-State Density Functional Theory".  [You
can chek it out on-line at http://pubs.acs.org in the
interactive edition of JPC -- this is way cool, BTW ]

	Anyway, it remined me of an old paper by Mel Levy and 
Karl Freed which looked at DFT in the same way, but also gave

	So I am wondering if anyone has
