>Manual claims that semi-empirical methods are available in  MNDO, AM1, PM3 and RM1 implementations and are turned on with basis choice: "Using a semi‐empirical method in Firefly is extremely simple. All one needs to do is specify GBASIS=MNDO, AM1, PM3, or RM1 in the $BASIS group."


Unfortunately, it did not work.  Here are the input file and error messages:

$CONTRL PM3 RUNTYP=OPTIMIZE
      ICHARG=0 MULT=1 COORD=CART $END
$STATPT HSSEND=.T. $END
$BASIS GBASIS=PM3 $END
$DATA
CHN
C1 1
C 6 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000

H 1 0.00000000 0.00000000 -1.07021200
$END

The error message is:  

NAMELIST EXPECTS = OR (

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THIS CARD, BEFORE OR NEAR THE $ POINTER
 $CONTRL PM3 RUNTYP=OPTIMIZE                                                    
              $
Please help.  Thanks.
