The first calculation was done using Columbus 5.9.0, with Dalton as
integration program. C1 symetry and minimal basis set is used. The
calculation is a closed shell scf followed by a mcscf. If you need more
information about this calculation, I can give them. I show here the header
of the 3 files generated in MOLDEN repertory (molden_mo_mc.sp
molden_mo_scf.sp  molden_no_mc.sp), wich is the same for all of them :
