Hi Francois,
The version of GAMESS I use is
"GAMESS VERSION = 19 MAY 2004 (R4)".
Therefore, I changed three lines in RED-II.pl
saying "all processes have ended gracefully" to
"exited gracefully".
Now, RED-II works just fine. Thanks for letting me
know about
http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lbpd/RED/FAQ-II.htm#2.
regards,
