1. Copyright.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 MoPac is originally developed by James J. P. Stewart for any workstation
with Fortran 77 compiler (for more information see "MoPac.doc").
 The AmigaDos release is public domain and freely distributable including
the CD-ROM form.
 The autor of this conversion disclaim all warranties.


2. Introduction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 MoPac is a general-purpose semi-empirical molecular orbital package with
many features. The AmigaDos version was developed on my accelerated A1200
(030/881 @ 50 MHz, 16 Mb Fast Ram, HD 1080 Mb, CD-ROM  4X, two external
floppy drives) with GNU C V 2.7.0 and F2C (950314).
 This version require to run a very large amount of ram (about 10-12 Mb),
a math coprocessor unit (68881, 68882, 68040) and at least the release 41 of
ixemul.library. For the systems with a small amount of Ram (4 - 8 Mb ), you
can use a virtual memory manager as VMM V3.1 (tested on my system).


3. Installation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 To install MoPac 5.00, you can copy all files of the directory "Bin" in
another directory of your system disk and can delete the MoPac executables
which are not compatibles with your CPU/FPU (e.g. delete MoPac030 and
MoPac040 if you have a 68020/68881 system).


4. Usage.
~~~~~~~~~
 A simply batch file (named MoPac) was developed to pass the parameters at
the executable file of MoPac. Automatically this batch file select the cor_
rect version of MoPac compatible with your system:

MoPac020 for 68020/68881 -> Tested
MoPac030 for 68030/68881 -> Tested
MoPac040 for 68040       -> Not tested

 The batch file require as argument the name of the project without extension
and allow to select a background run:

1> MoPac Test1

 Eventually, you can specify the task priority (default -1):

1> MoPac Test1 -2

 The files generated by previosly run are automatically renamed adding a tilde
(~) at the end. A particular batch file (named KILLME) is generated during the
MoPac calculation which can be used to kill the backgrond run.
 To evaluate the performances and the features of this pakage, can be used
the files included in "Exampes" directory of the distribuition archive.
For more information for the files generated by MoPac, see "MoPac.doc".
