Early termination of IRC calculations
Dear compuational colleagues,
I have been performing a number of IRC calculations using Mopac 6 on
an VAXstation 3520 and I have had a problem with the early termination of
the IRC calculation, which was due to MOPAC running out of time. However I have
provided enough time for the calculation to run to completeion and placed
it on a parasitic queue that has an infinite time allowance. (See below)
Also in DIMSIZES.DAT I have given the following
MAXTIM=1000000, MAXDMP=21000
Also I have failed to RESTART any of these IRC calculations.
If anyone has a solution please advise me ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Jeff Gosper
