Dear CCLers,

Although I have done an extensive literature search I have not been able
to find Amber parameters for OS-CT-C and OS-CT-N. 
Your help is appreciated for publications or URLs that might have this
kind of information. 
I have alrady checked http://www.amber.ucsf.edu:80/amber/ and several 
publications, I had no luck!

I shall summarise. Thankyou in advance

Regards

Content-Description: cc:Mail note part


     Calculation of the Cremer-Pople ring puckering parameters is part of 
     Mario Nardelli's PARST96 program.  FORTRAN source code for this 
     program and some compiled versions are available at:
     
     ftp.lmcp.jussieu.fr in the directory 
     pub/sincris/software/structure/parst96 or at ipruniv.cce.unipr.it, 
     directory pub/nardelli.
     
     Cremer-Pople parameters are also calculated by the program RICON 
     discussed in J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 1997, 37(4), 766.  This 
     program also implements a modified version of these parameters by 
     Zefirov and Palyulin (two of the authors of the above paper).  The 
     article says the PC executable is available from the authors at:
     
     ftp://org.chem.msu.su/pub/software/ricon/
     
     I have been unsuccessful at connecting to this server for anonymous 
     ftp. And unfortunately, the authors don't list their e-mail addresses 
     at Moscow State University.  I am interested in obtaining the RICON 
     program.  I'd be interested in finding out if anyone has gotten a 
     copy.

I am a sysadmin of this server. 
I just rechecked the FTP archive and the software is indeed available for
download. We have had some uplink connectivity problems lately, but now
they seem to be cleared. I hope you will be able to download the file
successfully.

Hello,

I've recently tried to build DeFT as available from the CCL Archives, and
run it using the DGauss basis sets (appropriately reformatted) on a
variety of molecules including PCl5, Cr(CO)6, SF6, etc.  Every time that I
put in any molecule containing other than 2nd row atoms (Li-Ne), the
program finds the initial energy, and then hits in error in MATINV (AMAX
<= 10^-30) and stops.  This is on an R5000 Indy, running Irix 6.2,
development kit version 7.1, o32 executables.  It also is not affected by
using the -static flag.  Any suggestions?

Secondly, as a general question, has anyone on the list actually done any
work on the DeFT code itself? (other than the author and his group)  Other
than the note concerning the erroneous parameter to delphi.f, I haven't
seen much traffic concerning this since its release.

We have lost an article (and reference) to a p. chem. lab experiment

Does someone on the list happen to have this reference?

We have an opportunity for a good deal on a couple of DEC Personal
Workstation 433 au machines.  We would like to keep software costs as
low as possible, and one option would be to get Windows NT rather than
Digital Unix.  The workstations would be used mainly for code
development, and all of my experience so far has been with Unix.

I would like to hear about any experiences with alpha NT or any
opinions about alpha NT.  Is it a viable option?

I understand that not all of the software running under Windows NT has
been ported to the alpha chip.  Does anybody have any experience with
the Intel chip emulator FX!32?

Dear Fred,
	I've build the DeFT on a RS6000 running AIX3.2.5 and recently 
started some calculation on copper. I had (have) hard problem on 
convergence but no message as the one you got. You may mail me your 
file(s) and I'll try with them. I also may try building the executable on 
a SGI O2 running IRIX Release 6.3 IP32 and check your files on it.
	Concerning elements other than 2nd row atoms (Li-Ne) I've converted 
the DGAUSS basis sets found in the CCL archive. DeFT seems to explicitly 
need also the XC auxiliary basis set which misses in the DGAUSS or other 
distributions. I've set the coefficients in the XC basis sets equal to 
1/3 the ones of the density auxiliary basis set. I've done this after 
inspecting the XC coefficients in the original DeFT basis set 
distribution. It seemed an undeclared rule. After doing this I've found 
that basis sets for most elements (others than Li-Ne) are archived at
ftp://ftp.caos.kun.nl/pub/misc/deft/
The XC auxiliary bs are also given in this distribution and are as those 
I computed. 
	So I'm curious to know how did you managed to get the XC aux. bs.

	Concerning your second question, I know that the DeFT code 
originated the DeMon code (or viceversa; it is not very well stated) 
which is handled at Montpellier (France) and Montreal by Salahub and 
coworkers (there is a web page at http://palladium.enscm.fr/ ).

	Also I'm not  aware of works done on or with the DeFT code apart 
from the author efforts. I know the code is implemented at the CAOS CAMM 
server in netherland but the server statistics shows null usage of the 
code. I'd like to know if any in the list use it or know about someone 
doing that.

Regards
Bruno
