Here are my explanations:

1) OK
2) Yes, I plan to compute excited states (at any rate 5 singlet states including ground state and 2 doubly degenerate states, and 5 triplet states including 2 doubly degenerate states; total 14 states) with state averaging procedure.
3) Since in that time I had a computer with a small memory (approx. 100 MWords). With next=50 I get approximately the same results.
4) 8
5) Since I plan to compute some excited states of different symmetry with state average procedure.

Best Regards,
Maksim.

For example, for the ground state of KRb molecule in MRCI/CASSCF(2,8) approximation with Stuttgart-type small core ECP with Molpro I get R(min)=4.10 A (quite close to the experimental 4.07 A value) and good asymptotic behavior for R=20 and more A.
