Hi,

I am trying to add extra points for CN- molecule. As suggested by you I am
studying the extra_pts.f code and trying to extend it. I have managed to
add a new frame type for CN. The problem that I am facing is that the code
needs three atoms for a frame (first neighbor, middle atom with EP, third
neighbor) .

CN has two EP at C, the problem is that I don't have a three atom frame.

I am thinking of putting a dummy coordinate for the third neighbor just as

  dummy---C---N

I was wondering if you could suggest anything for my case, as I am getting
a lot of errors in my procedure of changing the code.

Thanks
