[aus.wanted] molecular mechanics and ab initio for UNIX machines

herb@titan.cc.deakin.OZ.AU (Carl Schiesser) (03/20/90)

Does anybody out there know where I can get hold of a graphics version of
molecular mechanics suitable for a UNIX workstation? I am also interested in
a SUN-UNIX version of a Gaussian (ab initio) package and would be grateful
for any information.
Finally, do any decent molecular plotting packages (ie. crystallographic
type of output) exist which readily accept molecular mechanics (etc.)
output?
Any help would be much appreciated,

To the best of my knowledge there is no a Sun Unix version of Gaussian 8x yet.
One was being work on a couple of years ago by Dr. Bob Whiteside at Sandia 
Labs in Livermore.  The best thing to do is to speak with Dr. Dave Moses at
Gaussian Inc. in Pittsburgh.  The current released Unix versions of Gaussian
88 are the Alliant, Multiflow, Ardnet, and Unicos(Cray) to the best of my
knowledge.

There is also a version for the Convex (gaussian 8x). You might be able 
to port that version to the Sun with not too much difficulty. Watch 
out for optimization levels though.
