[molpro-user] Making tuning after Molpro installation

Sven,

As you've probably seen, the tuning parameters are just regular command 
line options written to lib/tuning.rc and read in by the program from 
there. So you could run the tuning job under a variety of different 
circumstances and then when running Molpro jobs simply pass the 
appropriate options on the command line.

The tuning parameters aren't as critical as they once used to be on 
older hardware, even without running the tuning job you get reasonable 
performance.

Best wishes,

Andy
