Re^4: Hessian Calculations

Hello Alex:

That sounds quite fantastic.  I suspect That would certainly speedup these jobs.

On a related note, as Hessian jobs are rather long in general, is there any way to resume a Hessian job if it should be interrupted for any reason?  If so, how would this be done?  I suspect that the .dat file created with the -p -stdtxt option would have the portion of the Hessian job that was finished to that stage.  I know that at the very least the converged SCF can be reloaded from the $VEC in the .dat punch file, but this is just a small portion of such an overall Hessian job.

Thanks,

Thomas
