Looks like GAMESS on Windows was facilitated through Cygwin back then.

Did ghemical-gms continue supporting the Windows version when the group switched from Cygwin to native Windows binaries?

Was ghemical's available for Windows?

I was the only Windows user when I joined Mark's group (and through graduation). At the time I think there was little to no support for anything GAMESS related on Windows.

Orca is a nice package. If you are already familiar with it and it provides all the functionality you need it may not be ideal to learn the input specifications of a new package.

In short - a graphical user interface to running GAMESS on a Windows system. Why Windows? It is the most downloaded version of GAMESS.

This year I decided to load the nine SC25 technical papers I was assigned to review into Speechify to give my eyes a break from reading.

Technical paper review is much more fun when Snoop Dog, Gwyneth Paltrow, or Obama is reading it to you.

One area where Speechify fails is with math equations.
