Thanks to everyone who wrote and asked for a preprint! 
I would like to say that the paper was done with several
coauthors, and that the vast majority of the perturbation
theory work was done by my coworker, Qi Zhang, with 
important contributions also made by Yi-Ping Liu, and
all with the support, guidance, and expertise of Don Truhlar. 

The other thing I'd like to mention is that this preprint
does NOT explicitly give transformations between normal
and the usual "internal" coordinates; the only transformation
which is explicitly given is between Cartesians and Jacobis
(an internal coordinate system loved by us physical chemists,
and developed many moons ago).
However, it does point to references which would be helpful 
to someone trying to come to grips with coordinate transformations
for the first time. Just a caveat so that no one's hopes are
too high....  :-)

Best to all, Robert
