Re: RSURFACE: MCSCF optimization followed by PT2?

Dear Bernhard,

runtyp=rsurfx works similarly to regular runtyp=rsurface with a few exceptions.

First, CITYP is forsibly set to NONE, and MPLEVL is set to 0;
and a constrained geometry optimization is performed.

When done, CITYP and MPLEVL are restored to their initial values
and a single point energy is computed.

These steps are repeated in the scan loop.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Alex
