Dear all CCLers:

Recently I come up with a question that using Gaussian 92, does the 
optimized geometrical structure depend on the initial input? Since the 
result is a local minimum, the answer seems yes. But how to avoid this 
local minimum to obtain a global minimum? Please give me a reply if you 
have an idea. Thank you!

Shubin
