[molpro-user] two questions about virtual orbitals

Dear Karl

You can "freeze" the orbitals by setting them to zero in matrop, e.g.
for orbital 10.1:

hf
{matrop
LOAD,orbs,ORB,2100.2
ADDVEC,orbs,10.1,orbs,10.1,-1
SAVE,orbs,2100.2,ORBITALS
}

and then run ccsd calculation without orbital orthogonalization:
{ccsd
thresh,orth=false
}
