Dear CCLers!
I summarized below the replies on the GAMESS results visualization
programs. Most of them run on various UNIX systems:

1.GAMESS package including DenDif, MEPMap, MolPlt, PltOrb and other
programs:
http://www.msg.ameslab.gov/GAMESS/Graphics/Graphics.html
For MolPlt program Mac code is also developed.

2.The MolDen program is available:
http://camms1.caos.kun.nl/~schaft/molden/molden.html

3.Laurent Joubert made new version of Molnff (2.0) available at the
following address :
http://134.157.11.11/Pages/LECA/GP/Laurent/soft.html
(two binary files (IBM and SGI) are available)
Molnff is a small converter which allows to create SciAn "NFF" files from
G94 or GAMESS output files (molecular structures).

I thank to all who helped me:

As a result of my query a month ago on this list about the existence of 
a resource that lists all Computational Chemistry and Physics software, 
I have received a nice set of pointers to sites all over the world that
present such a list. 

No list is exhaustive, but together they cover a lot. Almost all of them 
present a brief summary and then a link to the original site.

I have created a small page pointing to the site that have the list.
It also lists a few sites directly.

The URL is

http://www.qtp.ufl.edu/softstand.html

Please check it out and if you know of any sites or software not on there,
send it to me and I will add a link.

Thanks for all the replies.

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


For some reason, this message did not post.  If you get this message twice, I
appologise.


Hi Netters,

I recently asked how what the energy units were from Zindo, and how to convert
them into something more spectroscopically meaningful such as cm-1.  Thanks to
all who replied.  I have appended Ernest Chamot's reply, although others made
the following clear:

The energy units can be directly converted in the CAChe editor by looking at
the Internals (in the EDIT menu.)

The energy units from a Zindo CI calculation are already in cm-1.

I forgot to mention that there is a very useful website that can interactivly
convert between units.  Here is the address.  Many thanks to Francois Bayard
for pointing this out to me...

http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/chemistry/general/units.html

It gives:

Units Result

hartree = 1.041308e-21 kcal

(Zindo gives kcal/mol., whereas this is kcal per molecule)

Thanks once again,

Jason Lye

________________________________________________________________

Hi Jason,

Converting the energy units in ZINDO is straightforward.  All the Quantum
Mechanical methods like to use "fundamental" units, in this case, Hartrees.
One Hartree equals 627.51 kcal.  You will notice immediately, that if you
multiply the ZINDO numbers by 627.1, however, that you get a very large
number that doesn't look anything like a heat of formation.  That is because
electronic energies are calculated relative to the completely separated
electrons and nuclei as the reference state, rather than relative to the
elements in their standard state.  This doesn't matter if you are looking at
differences in energies: just subtract one from the other.

I would warn you about the likely accuracy of these energies, however.
ZINDO does okay coming up with energy differences between orbitals for
calculating UV spectra, but it is too crude to calculate good optimized
geometries and corresponding molecular energies.  (Some of the best results
have been obtained by using DFT to calculate geometries, and then ZINDO to
calculate spectra.)  In fact, if you try to calculate heats of formation by
using a ZINDO optimized geometry and subtracting the energies of a ZINDO
optimized molecules of the elements (try something like H2O vs H2 and O2,
for instance) you will find errors in heats of formation on the order of
100-200 kcal/mol!

I'm not sure which energy differences you are looking for.  If you are
looking for vertical excitation energies (in effect just the difference
between how the electrons are distributed at the same geometry, with the
same set of orbitals), then you may be okay, judging by ZINDO's success in
predicting UV absorbances.  If you want to compare the ground state singlet
energy to the energy of the optimized geometry in the triplet state, etc. I
don't think ZINDO will give you a usable accuracy.

Good luck.

Subject: DGauss basis sets now available on the net
Cc: jkl@ccl.net


Dear CCL,

I want to thank Dr. George Fitzgerald and Oxford Molecular Group
(http://www.oxmol.com/) for a very needed contribution to our community,
namely, the DGauss basis sets. These contracted gaussian sets were optimized
for DFT calculations and include elements up to Xe. They also include the
auxilliary fitting uncontracted gaussian sets for these programs which use
them.  The latest version of the basis sets for DGauss version 4.0 is
available from Oxford Molecular ftp servers:

   in US:   ftp://ftp.oxmol.com/pub/UniChem/UniChem_basis 
   in UK    ftp://ftp.oxmol.co.uk/pub/UniChem/UniChem_basis

I was also given permission to mirror them in CCL archives:
    http://www.ccl.net/cca/data/basis-sets/DGauss/dgauss-basis.html
or you can get there via
    ftp://www.ccl.net/pub/chemistry/data/basis-sets/DGauss/

There is also an older version (for DGauss 3.0 and older) in the CCL
archives (which contains XC auxilliary fitting sets) in the same
directory. 

The perl scripts are provided to convert these basis sets to other formats:
For version 3.0:
   http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/PERL/basis/DG3_to_deMon/dg2dm.html
and for version 4.0:
   http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/PERL/basis/DG4_to_deMon/dgn2dm.html

Again, I put a plug for CCL. Please contribute chemistry related material
(software, data, overviews, course materials, etc., etc.) to CCL -- I can
mirror your files on our Web server, and also have files on the ftp site.
Please contact me for more information (and do not be impatient  if you need
to wait for a few days for an answer -- but I am catching up usually {;-)}.

We are still running old site:
   http://www.ccl.net/chemistry.html
but at some point (when the damned things start to work as we want them!!!)
we will open our new site:
   http://www.ccl.net/

Thank you for you attention...

allow me to simulate EPR spectra.  I thank all those who replied.  I would
like to especially thank Joshua Telser for sending me the code for the

Dear Henry, sorry for my previous misleading message, and let me
