Subject: G92 calculation of electric field around a molecule

Dear G92 users:

	In J. Phys. Chem. 1990, 94, 4453-5, Oh, et al. describe using 
Gaussian 86 to calculate the short range field around a molecule using a set
of distributed multipole moments. Is this the old GRID keyword in Gaussian
which has been replaced by CUBE=POTENTIAL?

	If one calculates a field in this manner, is there a trivial way
to convert from the field to a set of electric field vectors along X,Y, and
Z such that the effect on a molecule in the field can be simulated by using
the FIELD=MN keyword option?

	Please respond directly and I will summarize.

Doug
