$ELG group              (polymer elongation calculation)                        
                                                                                
    This group of parameters provides control of elongation                     
calculations, which steadily increase the size of aperiodic                     
polymers, by adding attacking monomers to the end of an                         
existing chain.  The existing chain consists of two parts:                      
an A region, with a frozen electron density, farthest from                      
the new monomer, and a B region at whose end the monomer                        
attacks.  The wavefunction of the B region and the new                          
monomer are optimized quantum mechanically.  Disk files                         
containing integrals and/or wavefunction information must                       
be saved from one elongation run to the next.                                   
                                                                                
    A large number of examples are provided with the source                     
code distribution, see ~/gamess/tools/elg for this, perhaps                     
starting with the (gly)5, (gly)6, (gly)7 examples.  See the                     
literature cited below for more help.
