I was able to contact CRS4, who are distributing the package at the time. Below are the relevant addresses and e-mail contacts for Dr. Clementi and CRS4. Below the information on CRS4 are some other (possibly outdated) contacts, which I did not verify. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Clementi CRS4, Centre for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia, PO Box 488, 09100 Cagliari, Italy MOTECC is currently distributed by us (CRS4, Italy). If you send me your postal address I can mail you information about MOTECC-91 (the current available version). **************************************************************************** * Dr. Omar G.

Some appear to be out of date by now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MOTECC is available from IBM International Business Machines Corporation Kingston New York 12401 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You obtain it by signing a joint study agreement with IBM and paying something in the order of US$ 200. There are two volumes of documentation, edited by Clementi. Contact your local IBM reps (they probably won't know) and have them contact their nearest scientific support center (IBM people at Basel are informed). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact address for MOTECC as of 1991: Dr.Daniel Frye Scientific and Engineering Computations Department 48B/428 Neighborhood Road Kingston, NY 12401 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MOTECC -- Modern Techniques in Computational Chemistry is an IBM software Club which was organized by Enrico Clementi. You were paying IBM some $500 and got in exchange 20 or something software packages from atomic ab initio to molecular dynamics. With the programs you were getting the set of manuals and a very nice book. The last edition was: Enrico Clementi, MOTECC -- Modern Techniques in Computational Chemistry, Escom Publ., Leiden 1991, Netherlands, ISBN 90-72199-10-3 In 1991 the group of Clementi was dissolved. The only person who stayed in Kingston IBM is Michel Dupuis, michel@kgnvma.vnet.ibm.com. You may ask him for details. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
