CCL:G: comparable software to Gaussian

 Hi,
 Indeed NWChem has a graphical user interface called ECCE. Have a look at
 http://ecce.emsl.pnl.gov/ for details. One of the
 particulary nice
 things about it is that once you have configured it to access your user
 accounts on various machines you can submit calculations directly from
 within ECCE to a wide variety of machines and batch systems and ECCE
 will keep track of the status of your job and bring back any results
 automatically as soon as they are available (i.e. while your job is
 running). This saves a lot of monkey work copying inputs and outputs all
 over the place and editing jobscripts. All this aside from the EMSL
 basis set library that comes with it and the visualisation capabilities.
 I think the package is well worth trying.
 Best wishes,
    Huub

 Subject: CCL:G: comparable software to Gaussian
 Sent to CCL by: "H J Fan" [hjfan||pvamu.edu] Hi, I once was a fan of
 Gaussian. Due to recent headache of License terms and extra long delay
 > from Gaussian, I am seeking the advice on comparable software that I can
 purchase to do the similar calculations with a decent graphic interface.
 I am aware of free GAMESS but it lacks of graphic interface. Does MWCHEM
 have an interface?
