But I've got very different results of the energy in different computers using the same input file. I tried the same version of G98 (Rev. A.11) on two alpha computers and didn't get the same result either. I think the only difference may be the compiler and the version of ATLAS library during the installation, but how can that make so much difference? I've compared the output files. The differences first occur during the output of the natural orbitals in the UHF calculation. I really appreciate any help. Best regards, Peng Liu
