[molpro-user] how to use orbital from displaced geometry with frozen card

[amit sharma]

Kirk,
I don't want to use HF orbitals, HF does not converge in my case (which
should be resolved separately). When I explicitly give record number on
frozen card then I already should have the orbitals to be read in. How can
I get orbitals in record 2100.2 (say) at displaced geometry?
I tested it by performing a MULTI step with closed card, followed by MULTI
with frozen card, it works, but there is no point in doing that, is there
another way?

Wanyi,
closed orbitals are optimized (if I remember correctly) meaning longer
runtime, 100's of seconds vs few second for each MCSCF iteration.  I was
hoping to runs caspt2 geometry optimization where the displaced geometry
used pervious orbitals.
