Subject: semiempirical dft


Dear Netters,

I am interested in semiempirical DFT. Do you know
(or have you heard) about such approach ?
Semiepirical DFT is (or maybe '' would be'') a method similar to semiempirical
method in QM ( like MNDO, INDO etc.) but instead of
wave function it uses density (or maybe monopoles,dipoles
quadrupoles etc. of density or density matrix coefficients) and
some empirical coefficient.
ANY ARTICLE - CONTACT - or other informations are welcomed.

I will summarize if there is any interest in this topic .

Dear CCL readers:

I am in the process of setting up a NMR & Macromolecular Structure
Newsgroup.  Both COMPUTATIONAL and STRUCTURE SOLVING problems from an
NMR perspective will be addressed.  All those willing to support this
initiative please respond to me 'directly'!

Thank you very much.
Cheers

Hi, Netters!

Is anyone familiar with a molecular properties package written
for slater type orbitals (STO)? Particularly, for the computation
of electric fields and magnetic properties.

Subject: Hyperchem 3.0



Fellow Netlanders:

    I am using HyperChem 3.0, and I wish to extract the position and velocity
information from a molecular mechanics run to use in a different program.
HyperChem allows me to save the poisiotn and velocity in a file (called
a snapshot file).  In the manuals for the product, they give the
format of these snapshot files.  

    However, I wrote some code to read the data and write it into the format
I needed (Babel doesnt seem to support HyperChem), and my code did not
appear to be working.  After about .5 frustrating hours of debugging, 
I decided to look directly at the snapshot file.  After viewing it on
my PC with an editor (Hex editor in Norton Utils), I am not sure if the
format published in the manual corresponds with what is in the file.

    Has anyone done what I am trying to do?  If so, I would appreciate
seeing some of your code (C, Fortran, Basic, Pascal, Rexx, etc).  The
HyperChem 3.0 I am running is running on my office PC under Win OS/2
(under OS/2 2.1) on a 16 meg ram, 600+ meg hard disk 386sx machine 
(slow compared to the machines I like to use :-) ).

    I am trying to take a little "hot" cyclohexane and make a movie
(well, actually give it to my father who will make a rendered
movie out of it and present it with his manager at an ACS meeting
in Feb or March).  The cyclohexane seems to be well behaved, and I can
replay the movie via HyperChem, but I dont want to use HyperChem
to make the final movie.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated, pointers, flames, or otherwise!
Thanks in advance!
