Programs for Chemistry 5151/4131, Fall 2008:

Cacao - molecular orbital visualisation software
           - CACAO manual
           - template files for use with the Assignment: cyclobutadiene and CH4 seesaw to square planar

To install Cacao:
Run the file cacao98.exe into a temporary folder.  Three new folders are created.  In the DISCO1 folder, run the program setup.exe.  Note that you must close all applications before installing.  Click OK on the first screen, then CHANGE THE DIRECTORY to c:\moan or the program will not work (don't ask me why the default directory doesn't work).  Then click the big box with the picture of the computer on it.  There's may be a final box to click "yes" on, then it will install.   User files must be in the directory C:\MOAN\files.
