That's just the point. The input file that qm_gamess.c is writing is
currently incorrect from a gamess point of view in some cases.

So what I'd like to know is what gromacs expects to happen from a qm/mm
point of view when those methods are requested by the users
gromacs-input.

I.e. for DFT, is it ok to just use gamess-uk's default or should it be
more specific and so on.

Or in other words is the gaussian or mopac interface known to be working
well. If so then one should be able to work out what to generate in the
gamess-uk case from that info. Although that is a bit hard since one
would have to understand those two also...
