Re:Two summaries and an apology

["Mary O'Connor" <mvoconn.,at,.eden.rutgers.edu>]

To all CCLers:
      The first question I asked was regarding calculating heats of
 formation. (This seems to be a popular question!)
      1.) In regards to using AM1-although this is not an ab initio
 method, it still gives good results, and it was suggested that I use the
 calculated heat of formation of the hydronium ion in my equations.
      2.) Volume 15 of Reviews in Computational Chemistry has a great
 article on calculating heats of formation. I purchased a copy.
       On my question regarding the evolution of Gaussian basis sets:
      1.) I have ordered a book which was suggested, and will review it
 when I read it. (The title escapes me at this moment, and I cannot find
 the original print-out of the reply).
      2.) Several articles were cited:
          A.J. Sadlej, who authored two papers:  Collec. Czech. Chem.
 Comm. 53, 1995 (1988)
                                                   and
 Theor. Chim. Acta 79, 123 (1992)
  My thanks to everyone who responded to both of my questions. I can only
 offer an apology for the tardiness of my summaries and the explanation
 that I have an eye disease which has made me legally blind, so it takes
 me a LONG time to read things and get around to a reply. I promise to
 give prompt replies and summaries in the future. Thanks for your
 patience.
