 I believe the latest version is MNDO93 and it's being distributed by Cray
 though, I belive, Molecular Simmulations had a distribution agreement with
 Cray for a short while.  If I recall correctly, versions are available for
 Cray (naturally, and highly optimized), SGI and possibly IBM AIX but I don't
 know if it has been parallelized for SGI and IBM.  Apparently, MNDOxx
 software/algorithm development is also ongoing as part of an EEC ESPRIT
 program (academic/government/industry consortium).
 Maybe Walter Thiel will get wind of this message and offer a brief update
 since, to my knowledge, he has only published MNDO(d) parameters for the
 halogens though more elements are supposedly included in MNDO93.
 Depending on your interests and need for semiempirical programs, you might
 also consider:
 Program(s)               Contact
 MOPAC93/MOPAC V 7.0      QCPE           qcpe.,at,.ucs.indiana.edu
 GEOMOS                   QCPE
 ZINDO                    Biosym         contact local supplier/rep.
 Spartan                  Wavefunction   support.,at,.wavefun.com
 Can anyone offer commentary/comparison of the semiempircal methods implemented
 in these programs?
