G92 calculation of electric field around a molecule

["DR. DOUGLAS A. SMITH, UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO" <DSMITH at.at uoft02.utoledo.edu>]

 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 which has been replaced by CUBE=POTENTIAL?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.
