Dear netters,

Just a simple question concerning geometry optimization using G94.
If you want to keep the local symmetry of a functional group, say,
a methyl group, how do you do it? Can one use algebraic expressions
in the Z-matrix, such as in the following input for acetaldehyde:

	H					
	C   1   1.08
	O   2   1.33   1   120.
	C   2   1.54   3   120.   1    180.
	H   4   ch     2   hcc    1    hcch
	H   4   ch     2   hcc    1    hcch+120.
	H   4   ch     2   hcc    1    hcch-120.

	ch  1.01
	hcc  120.
	hcch  180.

Thank you very much in advance for all advise.

Subject: fortran/PC summary



 Dear CCL fellows,
this Monday I asked what Fortran compilers
that you suggest for a Pentium/Windows95 system.
Many thanks to those who answered!
Since I got more requests for summaries than 
answers to my question a summary follows. 
(Apart from the ones listed below there is
also the Microsoft Fortran 5.1 compiler (for DOS?))

Thanks again,
Fredrik

From: Leif Laaksonen <laaksone@csc.fi>
I use the Microsoft Fortran PowerStation 4.0, which is FORTRAN90 compiler,
with no problem. I appreciate that FORTRAN is using the same Microsoft
Developer Studio environment as C++, which enables an efficient combination
of the both languages. The development environment is more powerfull than
most similar tools on Unix boxes.
--------
From: John Marelius <john@ibg.uu.se> (translated)
Computer intensive jobs better under WindowsNT than Windows95.
   * Microsoft Fortran PowerStation (see http://www.microsoft.com/devonly)
     [FB: http://www.microsoft.com/fortran/ , presently 'access forbidden',
      but two days ago this page held some interesting stuff]
   * Lahey FORTRAN, see http://www.lahey.com
   * NA Software, see http://www.nasoftware.co.uk/home.html
--------
From: RHS Linux User <paul@chela.chemie.uni-bielefeld.de>
if you want to restrict yourself to fortran 77
the fortran system that I found to be best for the specific combination
you mentioned (P5 + Windows95) is the Watcom F77 10.6 system. With respect
to Windows compatibility, code size and -speed, it is far superior to
other packages like the Lahey Fortran 90. What I like most about the
Watcom compiler is that it is code compatible to the Watcom C/C++ 10.6
compiler, so you can mix F77 with C/C++.
--------
From: "Ponec, Robert" <RPONEC@icpf.cas.cz>
I did not do any exhaustive review of existing compilers but there is one   
which I am using. It is MS Fortran Power Station v.4.0 and I am quite   
satisfied with it.

Subject: Benchmarking P5 CPUs in chem. computing?
Lines: 25


Dear all,

recently, there were some postings to CCL on benchmarking Pentium Pro
vs. RISC stations - in general and at chemical computations, in particular.
Most interesting, there appeared a difference between SPECfp and
some chem-related ratings.

However, does anybody benchmarked somewhat light-weight machines
with respect to chemical computing - preferrably, mol. mechanics / dynamics?

I mean comparison of Intel Pentiums 133-200 MHz with AMD-Cyrix versions
of P5-class processors (particularly CyrixP166+,P200+ ; the question
is very practical as non-Intels are sufficiently cheaper...).

I'll summarize if there is considerable interest.

Best regards,
Igor

Howdy!!

        I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a program (or script)
that converts Daylight SMILES to molecular formulas...  I was getting ready
to write my own script in PERL but decided to ask before dedicating a few
hours to the task...

Hello,

does anybody can give me any information about the program SEAL - what it is for;
where it is available; whether it is commercial?

Yes, it seems that the problem is just right here. Solvation entropy may va=
