CCL:G: GAMESS GUI -- suggestions?



I recommend gabedit, as it is compatible with many flavors of ab-initio programs (molcas, molpro, gamess, gaussian, qchem, mpqc {open source}, and mopac I believe).  Gabedit, itself, is also open source.

All the best,
Jason

wxMacMolPlt (I recommend it):http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/~brett/MacMolPlt/
gabedit http://gabedit.sourceforge.net/
ccp1gui http://www.cse.scitech.ac.uk/ccg/software/ccp1gui/

For using wxmacmolplt with pcgamess/firefly there is a short tutorial:
