Thanks, I am also a linux and NBO user. Particularly, I enjoy the joint Firefly/NBO and its good efficiency.
But, I think that changing the operating system for reading a line (end-of-line) is not a good idea.

>I was PhD student and also used Windows. I used to use  WinGAMESS (US) to play around but i always had problems with end-of-line and so on. Then i have started to use GNU/Linux. And now my life has changed. Believe, Linux it is really  freedom, freedom to do everything. It is especially robust tool in the scientific world. So, save you money (you can buy license for NBO, for example) and enjoy your research. Good luck.

>>Is there any restriction to read a line of an input file by Firefly ?

>> $CONTRL MAXIT=100 RUNTYP=OPTIMIZE SCFTYP=ROHF DFTTYP=b3pw91 MULT=3 ICHARG=0 COORD=CART $END

>>the INPUT CARD in the output can not consider the whole of the above line and Firefly reports an error.

>>the solution is simple; try this :

>> $CONTRL MAXIT=100 RUNTYP=OPTIMIZE SCFTYP=ROHF
>> DFTTYP=b3pw91 MULT=3 ICHARG=0 COORD=CART $END
