sure GUGA works just fine. I think it was just a typo in the original
post by Evgeniy.

All the best,
Alex

>>Thanks for your response. Yes I set NSTATE to 2, because I want to do SA2-CASSCF(2,2) averaging over two singlet states S0 and S1. But this seems to be not possible with cistep=guga, because ISPIN doesn't work here, and without ISPIN one cannot select two singlet states, as the second state (after S0) is a triple.
