DblClkPCGAMESS: The Tiny Kit for Running PC-GAMESS
PC-GAMESS is a theoretical chemistry
computational freeware of great repute and popularity, enabling one to calculate
energy etc. of any molecular species. But its basic user-interface is
command-line based, and is thus quite unfamiliar to the new generation of
chemists. This tiny kit introduces into PC-GAMESS quite a familiar and simple
user-interface with the help of a link file (aptly named 'DblClk to Run
PCGAMESS'), which may just be double-clicked to run PC-GAMESS. In addition to
the simple user-interface thus introduced, new versions of this kit also keep
displaying the last part of the current content of input file (Work2Do.inp)
along with the time and date of last modification of this file, the method to
prematurely close PC-GAMESS, and also prevent unintentional overwriting of the
PC-GAMESS output files. To use this tiny kit, the extracted contents obtainable
from the downloaded WinZip file are to be copied to the C:\PCGAMESS folder
wherein the PC-GAMESS package would reside.
