    The GAMESS distribution contains a number of short
input examples:
   a) in a source code distribution, see
         ~/gamess/tests/standard/exam*.inp
   b) in a binary distribution for Apple Macintosh, see
         ~/gamess/tests/standard/exam*.inp
   c) in a binary distribution for Windows, see
         C:\gamess.64\tests\exam*.inp    (or C:\gamess.32)
Please see the summary table below to note what kinds of
calculations are included.

   The primary usage of these input files is to introduce
the basic functionality of the program.  Running all of
these, and noting where in the log file the key results
contained in comments in the input files appear should
introduce the basics to a new user.  After that, explore
the more exotic keywords in the previous chapter, for the
number of examples in the test packet is deliberately kept
small, and each run is relatively simple.

    Secondarily, running these tests serves as a simplistic
verification of the program's correct installation.  In
source code distributions, only, there is a script to check
the numerical results, see
         ~/gamess/tests/standard/checktst
to automatically check all results.  Binary distributions
can do this by hand, since the expected results are
contained in the input files.  Note that to keep the tests
small, the memory and CPU time required is trivially small.
This means that problems that might occur in larger runs
won't be detected, and that these tests are entirely
inappropriate for parallel execution.

    The examples are:

The following will refuse to run in parallel:
   5 - CI gradient is not enabled for parallel execution
   23,25,27 - MOPAC is not enabled for parallel execution
   32,42,45,46,47 - only RHF-based CCSD/CCSD(T) is parallel
   39 - RUNTYP=TDHFX is not enabled for parallel execution
   48 - DFTB cannot use multiple cores for most runs, run sequentially.
