Mike,

The page listed below is material from the workshop given at the
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.  The subjects listed below were
discussed in the lectures but we do not have scripts that explicitly
handle these issues; probably because in these situations each condition
would be unique.  There is plenty of other material on CHARMM and
biomolecular simulation at:

http://www.psc.edu/general/software/packages/charmm/tutorial/index.html

Good luck,

Hello,

It seems to me that after cs you have to leave one blank line.
If still it does not fix the problem, use CS instead cs .
I hope this will solve.

 Hi,

Your observation seems to be correct, some of Gaussian users 
are quick in asking and slow in reading manuals.

However, dividing CCL into a series of topic specific sublists
might not be a best solution. IMHO, not long ago a lot of technical
questions concerning CHARM and Autodock have appeared (probably too
much from Gaussian user's point of view).
Should these be moved to sublists also? 

Of course CCL isn't directly supposed to be a universal theoretical 
chemistry software help desk. However, attempts to define discussion
limits may not be the best way to keep the list active and interesting
for a wide range of theoretically oriented chemists.

It seems, it would be nice to mark ALL software specific questions,
i.e. CHARM, Autodock, etc., to allow mail programs tuning for all of
subscribers. 

best regards,
Valentin.

I strongly support this question, and I want to thank all of the people who have included program names in their subject line (when they have a question about a particular program). It has made it much easier for me to read my email.

There are independent mailing lists for programs like GAMESS, AMBER,
CHARMM, etc. which deal with many more package specific questions than
ever appear on CCL.  If all these questions were also appearing on CCL,
it would be a much busier list.  Fortunately, Gaussian users are spared
the details of tweaking input files, compiling for platform X, etc.; it
would be nice if G98 users would return the favor.  I don't think CCL
should split up-- but I do lament the lack of a Gaussian mailing list,
where a major percent of the Gaussian messages that appear on CCL would
be more germane and appreciated.

I completely agree; the diversity of topics adds to the value of the
Computational Chemistry List.  Program specific minutiae, i.e. helpdesk
questions, probably belong on another mailing list dedicated to that
topic, however.  In the case of Gaussian, I am somewhat surprised that
the vendor hasn't shown more initiative, and established just such a
mailing list.

The Subject: lines are up to the message submitter; most posts to CCL
seem to have relevant ones which often include the program name, which
is about all we can hope for.
