        Comments on Gaussian 92, a Molecular Orbital Package  
          for Molecular Electronic Structure Calculations

     Gaussian 92 is a system of programs for performing semiempirical 
and ab-initio molecular orbital (MO) calculations.  It is a further 
development of previous versions of Gaussian dating back to 1970 
and as recent as 1990.
     
     Three main topics will be discussed: 
     
     (1) Types of input and keywords used
     (2) A couple of quantum mechanical features (SCF and MP2)
     (3) Basis sets.

                      Monday , December 5 1994
                           5:30 pm
                    Room 206, Science & Tech. I
