CCL: PC GAMESS/Firefly for Mac OS X

 Sent to CCL by: "Alex A. Granovsky" [gran!=!classic.chem.msu.su]
 Dear Mac users,
 The PC GAMESS/Firefly team is proud to announce the availability of the first
 official release of the PC GAMESS/Firefly package for
 Mac OS X/Intel platform.
 List of some key features:
 Free and fast! Proven reliability and performance of Windows/Linux PC
 GAMESS/Firefly.
 Feature rich - supports all the functionality of Windows/Linux-based PC
 GAMESS/Firefly.
 Runs on Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) and 10.5.x (Leopard).
 Parallel jobs run on SMP/multi-core hardware without additional software.
 Installation is straightforward with a native DMG installer. New drag and drop
 job submission applications make running jobs
 significantly easier and more intuitive than most other ab-initio computational
 chemistry programs on the Mac platform. Just drag
 and drop your input file on to the appropriate run application for the number of
 CPU cores desired (or double-click and select) and
 your job will simply launch and open the output in a suitable text editor. All
 the necessary output files that may be needed for
 future follow-up jobs are automatically delivered to the input file directory.
 Everything is intended to be Mac friendly including a
 set of Mac-specific step by step Quick Start and Complete install and usage
 guides that should cover 90%+ of all potential questions
 for new users.
 A batch job submission application and a STOP-FIREFLY-JOBS application which
 allows multiple job management.
 A good set of third-party Mac native graphical applications is available to
 prepare input jobs as well as to visualize the output of
 those runs (e.g., WebMO). Most visualization tools that are not available
 natively for Mac work fine through Darwine or Crossover
 Wine.
 There is an active community of Mac beta testers and Firefly community users to
 answer questions for new users.

 Enjoy the program!
