CCL: GAMESS input file for CASSCF excited state calculations

 Dear All,
 I got trouble in preparing a GAMESS input file for a CASSCF excited state
 calculations. First I optimized the geometry at CASSCF ground state, now I am
 planning to use the optimized geometry and molecular coefficients to calculated
 the excited state energy. If you would have experience and would like to share
 it with me, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
