 While we recommend that you avoid using remote file systems for Gaussian
 scratch files, we also intend that they function properly.  It is not
 possible for us to test every combination of type of compute machine and
 type of file server, the combinations we can test do work.
 The error which was reported (running on Convex with files on an Indigo)
 looked like there was some problem with the file size information provided
 to Gaussian.  Since I can run here on either a Sun or an RS/6000 with scratch
 fiies on an SGI, I presume that the problem is on the Convex side.
