$CONTRL group                    (note:  only one "oh"!)                        
                                                                                
This group specifies the type of wavefunction, the type of                      
calculation, use of core potentials, spherical harmonics,                       
coordinate choices, and similar fundamental job options.

The treatment of electron correlation for the above SCF                         
wavefunctions is controlled by the keywords DFTTYP, VBTYP,

than one of these may be chosen in a single run (except as                      
part of RUNTYP=SURFACE).  Scalar relativistic effects may                       
be incorporated using RELWFN for any of these wavefunction

the underlying CCSD reference ground state, using the EOMCC                     
formalism. Thus, EA and IP runs read $CCINP as well as

Any publication describing the results of CC calculations                       
obtained using GAMESS should reference the appropriate

Generally speaking, the Renormalized energies are obtained                      
at similar cost to the standard values, while Completely                        
Renormalized energies cost twice the time.  For usage tips

       = FRAGONLY  means no part of the system is treated                       
                   by ab initio means, hence $DATA is not                       
                   given. The system is defined by $EFRAG.                      
                                                                                
   Note: the choices PRINAXIS, ZMT, ZMTMPC require input of                     
all atoms in the molecule.  They also orient the molecule,                      
and then determine which atoms are unique.  The                                 
reorientation is likely to change the order of the atoms                        
from what you input.  When the point group contains a 3-                        
fold or higher rotation axis, the degenerate moments of                         
inertia often cause problems choosing correct symmetry                          
unique axes, in which case you must use COORD=UNIQUE rather                     
than Z-matrices.                                                                
                                                                                
   Warning:  The reorientation into principal axes is done                      
only for atomic coordinates, and is not applied to the axis                     
dependent data in the following groups: $VEC, $HESS, $GRAD,                     
$DIPDR, $VIB, nor Cartesian coords of effective fragments                       
in $EFRAG.  COORD=UNIQUE avoids reorientation, and thus is                      
the safest way to read these.                                                   
                                                                                
   Note: the choices PRINAXIS, ZMT, ZMTMPC require the use                      
of a group named $BASIS to define the basis set.  The first

            the internal coordinates will be those defining                     
            the molecule in $DATA.  In this case, $DATA may                     
            not contain any dummy atoms.  M is usually                          
            3N-6, or 3N-5 for linear.                                           
       = M  For other COORD choices, or if $ZMAT is given:                      
            the internal coordinates will be those defined                      
            in $ZMAT.  This allows more sophisticated                           
            internal coordinate choices.  M is ordinarily

  NZVAR refers mainly to the coordinates used by OPTIMIZE                       
  or SADPOINT runs, but may also print the internal's                           
  values for other run types.  You can use internals to                         
  define the molecule, but Cartesians during optimizations!

Pseudopotentials may be of two types:  ECP (effective core                      
potentials) which generate nodeless valence orbitals, and                       
MCP (model core potentials) producing valence orbitals with                     
the correct radial nodal structure.  At present, ECPs have                      
analytic nuclear gradients and Hessians, while MCPs have                        
analytic nuclear gradients.

ISPHER =      Spherical Harmonics option                                        
       = -1   Use Cartesian basis functions to construct                        
              symmetry-adapted linear combination (SALC)                        
              of basis functions.  The SALC space is the                        
              linear variation space used.  (default)                           
       = 0    Use spherical harmonic functions to create                        
              SALC functions, which are then expressed                          
              in terms of Cartesian functions.  The                             
              contaminants are not dropped, hence this                          
              option has EXACTLY the same variational                           
              space as ISPHER=-1.  The only benefit to                          
              obtain from this is a population analysis                         
              in terms of pure s,p,d,f,g functions.                             
       = +1   Same as ISPHER=0, but the function space                          
              is truncated to eliminate all contaminant                         
              Cartesian functions [3S(D), 3P(F), 4S(G),                         
              and 3D(G)] before constructing the SALC                           
              functions.  The computation corresponds                           
              to the use of a spherical harmonic basis.                         
                                                                                
QMTTOL = linear dependence threshhold                                           
         Any functions in the SALC variational space whose                      
         eigenvalue of the overlap matrix is below this                         
         tolerence is considered to be linearly dependent.                      
         Such functions are dropped from the variational                        
         space.  What is dropped is not individual basis                        
         functions, but rather some linear combination(s)                       
         of the entire basis set that represent the linear                      
         dependent part of the function space.  The default                     
         is a reasonable value for most purposes, 1.0E-6.                       
                                                                                
         When many diffuse functions are used, it is common                     
         to see the program drop some combinations.  On                         
         occasion, in multi-ring molecules, we have raised                      
         QMTTOL to 3.0E-6 to obtain SCF convergence, at the
