	   I am sorry, I made a mistake in the math in my last posting.
	The equation for the pseudorotation in the Cremer & Pople
	formulation should contain an "I" at the indicated location.

	   The pseudorotation parameters are calculated with

                        1/2 --
	              /2\   \
        qm exp phim = ---   /  zj exp (2 Pi I m(j-1)/n)
                      \n/   --              |
                            j               |

	where m = 2,3, ..., (n-1)/2.
