Derivatives of the total energy with respect to the cartesian coordinates have been calculated with the ES computers for the MNDO/VS method. Standard atomic parameters enable one to calculate systems that include the following elements: H, Be, B, C, N, F, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Sn, Br, I. It is possible to introduce the parameters for atoms in periods I-VI and to correct for hydrogen bonds formed by N, O, and F. Open-shell calculations have been performed by the unrestricted Hartree-Fock method with analytical derivative calculation or by Dewar's half-electron method from a standard scheme with numerical derivatives. The program envisages geometry optimization by the Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) method, Fletcher's method, and our modification of the Newton-Rafson method. It is possible to calculate the relative vibrational intensities in the dipole approximation; the derivatives of the dipole-moment components with respect to the cartesian coordinates are derived numerically from a three-point formula.
