CCL:Hyperchem

["Schriver,M;Chemistry;" <MSCHRIVER-: at :-kean.ucs.mun.ca>]

 Hey out there,
 I have appreciated the repsonses that I have been getting on the
 HypeChem issue. It is clear from the reponses that I have received
 that the semi-empirical programs in the HyperChem suite are fully
 functional and have not been truncated. That is reassuring and I will
 make a point of mentioning that to the chemists who were telling me
 there were problems with HyperChem.
 Of the comments that I have had both through the list and by personal
 messages it is clear that HyperChem has an exceptional ability to
 generate graphics and build molecules. I am going to keep my copy of
 HyperChem.
 As far as the other issue .. ie "where can you use semi-empirical
 calculations?" I can see that I wandered into an area between
 two entrenched armies. Is there a FAQ somewhere where the "experts"
 have fought this issue out? What it boils down to for me is wether
 I can use AM1 or PM3 to calculate the orbitals of a heterocycle that
 contains S and/or P. I have appreciated the help.

 P.S. Ghislain, I would not have posted my concern if it had have been
 just our conversation. I in fact had several similar conversations over
 several months. Glad you enjoyed the discussion tho ;-)
