... uuhm, this has very severe linguistic problem ...

Before talking about the manual, please note that developing the CAMP Atami
code had been done on volunteer bases, even if it is sold from JCPE.
Fee of the program is only a shipping cost.


"Japanese Manual of CAMP Atami" is 74 pages long.
 ^^^^^^^^
Contents:
    preface and copyright notice
 1. Outline of the program  .............  1
 2. Theoretical bases ...................  3 
 3. Formats of input files ..............  9
 4. Formats of output files ............. 11
 5. Some results of calculations ........ 13
      Si, GaAs, metallic Al, Cu (crystal)
      H2O, SiH4, CH4, H2,       (molecule)
      poly Acetylene.           (macro molecule)
 6. Structure of the Code ............... 38
      minute description of the codes.
 7. References .......................... 62
 Appendix
    1. History of CAMP Atami ............ 65
    2. Mailing list on "CAMP" ........... 71

Yes, English translation of the manual is one of the our main concerns
of these days. We surely plan to do it. However it will take, I suppose,
half a year or so to translate the whole manual. It becomes too large
to handle at a time.

These may help You:
 A. A file containing compiling instructions are attached to the file set
    in English.
 B. A sample input file is also attached.
 C. Descriptions of the output files may not be provided in English.
    I will be able to tell you about them in that cases.
 D. Mailing list which devoted only on CAMP Atami will start soon.
    This mailing list will be set on some BBS in Japan, but you can sent
    and read mails via Inter-net Mail system without registration to the BBS.
    You may contact to the developers through the list.
    Address of the list is written on the manual.

Any comments and questions on manual as well as on CAMP are appreciated.
Please feel free to resent this message to others.

Sorry about posting this again, but this fixes some serious
bugs in the previous posting.

*** Usage ***
Let's say you have a PostScript file called 'file.eps'.
1) This step is not necessary, unless you want to find out the exact
   bounding box. 'bbfig' can be found in calypso-2.oit.unc.edu
   in the directory of /pub/packages/TeX/dviware/dvips/dvips/contrib/bbfig.

   % bbfig file.eps > file.bbfig

2) Open 'file.eps' or 'file.bbfig' with 'xpsview'.
      % xpsview file.eps 
   or % xpsview file.bbfig
3) Cut the image within the bounding box with 'snapshot'.
   Save the image into 'file.rgb'.
   % snapshot
4) Convert RGB image to PostScript image and insert it in 'file.eps'.
   % rgb2pv file.eps file.rgb > file.epsi

Subject: Re: Sybyl spl



Hi Chuck,
There are many Sybyl spl examples under /sybyl601/spl.
But some spl does not work properly.
I am interested in your idea, but most spl are not so long programs,
and I think limited researchers wrote spl. So I do not mind if Tripos
always collect spl and send us correct ones in CD-ROM. And because we
cannot use "ftp", we are not interested in the site.

I am going to bring two spl for Tripos Users' Meeting.
One is getesp.spl, corrected version of esp_get.spl.
The other is bond-rotation and CoMFA r2 validation spl for searching
proper comformation, originally programmed by Dr.Tamiki Nishimura,
Sumitomo Pharm., and modified by me.
Hope this help.

To: CHEMISTRY@ccl.net (Computational Chemistry List)

Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85]



Dear Netters,

I am looking for a program that could calculate a RMS distance matrix
for a set of homologous molecular structures (possibly in PDB format).
It would be even better if such program allowed to pick which parts of
the structures to compare (for example, only P atoms, or all atoms of
a subset of nts, etc. - as you can guess I need it for comparing some
nucleic acid structures), without having to do it by hand by editing
the PDB files.

Does such a program exist, and, if so, how to get it? (I can use Macs
or SGI or HP or Windows/DOS).

Thank you very much in advance,

                                      Luca

Subject: Problem with SCF convergence in AMPAC
To: chemistry@ccl.net
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 94 14:10:23 BST
Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85]


I am running AMPAC v2.1 and have run into problems with SCF convergence. I have
a large, ~60 atoms, molecule which converges OK if carry out a geometry
optimisation on all coordinates. The problem arises when I try to constrain the
optimisation by flaging some of the bonds, angle and torsions to not be
optimised.

	Has anyone experienced this problem with Semi-emp, or QM methods in
general, and has anyone any possible ways to overcome the problem. I would like
to avoid doing a full geometry optimisation for the molecule due to its size.

Andy.

Dear Netters:

     I need help with references that discuss life times and

             Computational Biology and Parallel Computing
                             for the
                        BioTechnology Track
                             of the
 28th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-28
                Maui, Hawaii - January 3-6, 1995

The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences traditionally
attracts leading researchers in the both the biotechnology and 
parallel computing disciplines.  This minitrack takes advantage 
of this unique overlap by creating a forum for papers that discuss
the use of parallel and distributed computers in the biological 
sciences.  This includes a wide range of problems, some of 
which are:

     * protein folding
     * sequence analysis
     * linkage analysis 
     * molecular modeling
     * computational chemistry 
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^             (sic!)

These papers will be carefully refereed, so please let us know if
you are willing to referee -- even if you can't submit a paper.
Contact either of the organizers if you have any questions.

Hello all,
	Obviously I'm not the only person who thinks that a ftp site for
SPL scripts is a good idea.  I've been inundated with responses.  All but
one see a real need for such a site.  The good news is that there is a
site already.  The bad news is that it doesn't contain any scripts yet. 
It is associated with the SYBYL mail exploder.  The address for this site is:
		extreme.chem.rpi.edu
Incoming scripts should go in the "incoming" directory and then will be
made available in the /pub/sybyl directory.
	A number of issues have been brought up by respondents.  Here is a
summary of these issues:

1) Could other utilities that are only usefull to Sybyl users be deposited
at this site?  One respondent has some C programs that does various things
with output from Sybyl that could be contributed.

2) What about acknowledgement for scripts that are used in work that is
published.  Clearly the "programmer" of script that is a major part of an
project that is published should be acknowledged.  But what about a
utility that is only a small part of the project?  Further, what level of
acknowledgement would be required?

3) Then there are the mechanics of site deposition/management.  What kind
of assurances are that a script will work?  Should sample data be include?
 How about descriptions and instructions on a particular script?  Then
there is the issue of a index file of the deposited scripts.

4) Finally, a couple of you where concerned with Tripos' reaction to this
whole thing.  I've already been in contact with them.  They have no
problem with this.

	I'm looking into seeing if there are any formal rules that address
these concerns with the owner of the ftp site.  In particular I'll look
into getting a set of formal rules set up.  Any comments on these issues
above are welcome, but please reply to me.  I'm sure many of the non-sybyl
users on this list could care less about this discussion.  I'll summarize
info on this thread later.
Thanks to all

Dear netters,

I intend to start a study about the reaction between diazomethane and a series
of complex dipolarophiles. Given that the important size of these systems, I
have planned to use semiempirical methods (AM1 and PM3). I have some references
dealing with the use of these type of calculations to locate transition
structures in this kind of reactions, but the conclusions seem some controversial.
I would acknowledge any ideas or suggestions on this topic.
Of course, I will summarize the responses to the net.

                    Call For Papers and Referees
             Computational Biology and Parallel Computing
                             for the
                        BioTechnology Track
                             of the
 28th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-28
                Maui, Hawaii - January 3-6, 1995

The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences traditionally
attracts leading researchers in the both the biotechnology and
parallel computing disciplines.  This minitrack takes advantage
of this unique overlap by creating a forum for papers that discuss
the use of parallel and distributed computers in the biological
sciences.  This includes a wide range of problems, some of
which are:

     * protein folding
     * sequence analysis
     * linkage analysis
     * molecular modeling
     * computational chemistry
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^             (sic!)

These papers will be carefully refereed, so please let us know if
you are willing to referee -- even if you can't submit a paper.
Contact either of the organizers if you have any questions.

Russ,

it is rather easy to generate nice plots of spherical harmonics for higher
l values using for instance Maple V Release 2. Below, I include a short
text file which shows how to do this.

Subject: JACS Gopher?  Can't decode the TIFF files!


	Has anyone had any luck in downloading and then reading the
files available on the American Chemical Society site?  I'm trying
to retrieve supplementary material which is apparently stored as a
"Group 4 Fax" compressed TIFF file.  The ftp or gopher transfers work
fine, but I don't have a program that can read the compressed file.
	Please respond directly to me.  I'll summarize to the net
if there is interest.
	Thanks!!!

P.S. I'm using a Mac, so I'd prefer such programs, but will summarize
all responses...

Subject: aqueous modeling code


Netters,

I am looking for a Windows-based PC software package that computes
various properties of aqueous systems. Examples include properties
such as free energies of solvation, pKa, partition coefficients,
solubilities, diffusion coefficients, etc. 

My guess is that any such package would be rule-based, but perhaps
there are some that include input from quantum-chemical calculations
as well.

I believe that MSI markets a code known as "Polaris" that fulfills
a similar function on UNIX-based platforms.

I would certainly appreciate any suggestions or comments that you
may have.


-Bill
