 Dear Netters,
    I would like to use the reaction field SCF facility of Gaussian
 92 and I have a question about the input.
    In the manual (pp. 20 & 56) it is advised to enter the SOLVENT
 radius and dielectric constant as an input data.  However, in the
 original Onsager reaction field model the solvent dielectric constant
  but SOLUTE radius are used as input. Is this just a typo in the
 manual and should one use the solvent radius? which units shoud be
 used (A or Bohr?).  I would be interested to hear comments/tricks/
 critics  from persons who have experience with this option. I am
 interested in using water as a solvent.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
