We are trying to use PC GAMESS for the computational class in our college, and it would seem that a GUI interface would facilitate the job of using PC GAMESS for the average student. Thank you for your attention and I eagerly await your response. Yours, Ha Yeon Cheong Ha Yeon Cheong Bowdoin College Chemistry Intern From chemistry-request@server.ccl.net Mon Sep 3 20:12:39 2001 Received: from popeye.latrobe.edu.au ([131.172.4.60]) by server.ccl.net (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id f840CbM02310 for ; Mon, 3 Sep 2001 20:12:38 -0400 Received: from [131.172.148.97] (gln.chem.latrobe.edu.au [131.172.148.97]) by popeye.latrobe.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA25962; Tue, 4 Sep 2001 10:12:35 +1000 (EST) Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: chemgn@pop.latrobe.edu.au Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <244c7e244fe6.244fe6244c7e@bowdoin.edu> References: <244c7e244fe6.244fe6244c7e@bowdoin.edu> Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 10:13:26 +1000 To: chemistry@ccl.net From: "Graeme L.

It prepares the input file, and shows the 3D structure of the molecule. It reads the output files, and can display MOs, vibrations, etc. Combined with the Mac version of Gamess this makes a great package (especially for teaching)." Unfortunately there is no PC version of MacMolPlt. It is sufficiently good, though, that you might consider switching to Macs!
