[molpro-user] Active orbitals limit

[Dr Seth OLSEN]

Hi Xinzheng,

The only way to get beyond it is to move to a 64 bit computer
architecture, as far as I know.  Because of the way molpro represents
the configurations, the number of active orbitals is equal to the
bitsize of integers on your machine divided by two.  

There is more on this in the mailing list archive.

Cheers,

Seth
