34. The loop approach has been critisized by Vanni et al. These authors conclude in particular that it will be difficult to transform that idea into a computer algorithm. A detailed comparison of the approaches presented by Zilberg and Haas with that of Vanni et al. is far beyond the scope of the present paper. Here it should suffice to note that the Zilberg/Haas approach did work in many cases, in particular when symmetry could be used.

36. The minimum active space is CAS(6,6). The bisection algorithm makes, however, very large jumps in configuration space. E.g., the CAS for benzene is started with the orbitals of the TS structure. I observed that in these searches the MCSCF converges faster when the active space is slightly larger than minimal. In the present case one additional occupied orbital was enough.
