I do have a few generalizations of the LANL2DZ question I asked earlier
 though.
 First, if the Gamess and Gaussian manuals' references for the basis set
 match, can I assume they are identical (at least for elements supported by
 both programs)?
 And second, if I run "the same" calculation in Gamess and Gaussian,
 should I
 expect the same energy?  What pitfalls should I expect (I mean things like
 full vs. frozen-core for example)?
