Thanks for sending these.

You are correct.

Jmol currently looks for the heading 'Standard orientation:'

Gaussian 94 is different from Gaussian 98, but they both start with this
heading.

This heading is not present in the NoSymm version.

In fact ... I need your help ... I cannot find the coordinates either ...
you would be shocked to learn to know how little I know about these files
... or, for that matter, how little I know about chemistry :-)

Q: In 25 words or less, what does NoSymm mean?

Q: Where are the cartesian coordinates in the file H2O_NoSymm.out which
you sent me? The equivalent of the 'Standard orientation:'?
