 I have a ticklish question. Recently I tried to optimize first 3 excited states
 of molecules of interest. In Foresman in 9 chapter there are some examples on
 how to do it, but only under HF/CIS level of theory, so it unaccebtible. When I
 try to do the same with DFT/TD level my calculation drop down. Can you advise
 me.
