All rights reserved. Gaussian 98 Gaussian 98 is an ab initio quantum chemistry package. The current default version is A.9. The problem with version A.9 restart jobs failing seems to be for the case for restarts of SCF jobs.
Optimizations seem to be restarting properly.
Gaussian has been notified and have replied that they are aware of the problem but do not yet have a fix for it. If you have concerns about restarting with g98, please run the old, A7 version. A user's guide and a programmer's reference manual are available from Gaussian. The licensing agreement with Gaussian allows for the use of this program ONLY for academic research purposes.
