So you have the ddickick.x, rungms and gamess.00.x (or gamess.$n.x
with $n = 00 up to 09) binaries installed in your system.
If your system is a PC, you might also consider using PC-GAMESS since
it seems to be really faster (2 times ?). PC-GAMESS can now be
interfaced by RED-III. PC-GAMESS is used by RED-III only if at least
one of the three GAMES-US binaries is missing. Thus, on our machines,
we have GAMESS-US installed in /usr/local/gamess and PC-GAMESS in
/usr/local/pcgamess. To use PC-GAMESS I simply remove
/usr/local/gamess from my $PATH, and add it again if I want to use it
instead of PC-GAMESS (/usr/local/pcgamess being always in my $PATH).

R.E.D. checks for binaries using the "which" UNIX command. If the
answer to "which resp" is correct, it should be OK. Same rule for the
three GAMESS-US binaries.

You have to modify your .cshrc file _if_ you use the csh or tcsh
shell. Modify the corresponding file for BASH shell.

Correct.

There is a bug in Ante-RED: See the 1st bugfix from the RED home page.
Yes, check in particular:
(i) the atom connectivities which might be a little particular if:
- your starting structure is bad
- you have a metal in your system
(ii) the two columns of atom names
- to select the equivalencing procedure you wish to apply during the
fitting procedure (different choices might be made depending on the
case you study)
- to select the atom names that will be available in the force field
library to the Tripos mol2 file format (two atoms cannot have two
identical atom names).

Yes you can indeed, de-activate this test. However, my understanding
is that it is always a _bad_ idea to execute a program as the
super-user. Thus, I would not do that. Anyway, it is a good idea to go
in the source code and to try to remove tests since you might need to
do it in other cases...

R.E.D. needs Mol_red$n.p2n files to run... For instance:
- If $n = 1 (This is a single molecule fitting approach), you only
need to provide Mol_red1.p2n (the name being fixed)...
- If $n = 3 (This is a three molecule charge fitting approach), you
need to provide three p2n files: Mol_red1.p2n, Mol_red2.p2n and
Mol_red3.p2n.
- Now, if you provide Mol_red1.p2n, Mol_red2.p2n and Mol_red4.p2n,
R.E.D. will only use the 2 first p2n files since you have a hole in
the list of p2n files.
The P2N files and RED-vIII.pl script have to be in the same (working)
directory.

In the tutorial, the RED-vIII.pl scripts have been removed from the
data available for download since (i) one has to register to get
RED-III and (ii) the tutorial data are free for download.
