At the moment MOMO is parameterized for C, H, N, O, S, Cl, F, but parameters for Br, I, four coordinated P and Si are being developed.

MOMO uses some PIMM (Lindner, H. J., Tetrahedron, 30 (1974) 1127) force field and pi-SCF parameters.

How to install the MOMO 2.00 test version :
create a directory called MOMO200, copy the momo200.zip archive file to that directory, uncompress using pkunzip -d momo200.zip.

Add the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

SET MOMODIR=C:\MOMO200\
SET INTINIT=C:\MOMO200\INTERACT.INI
SET INTFMDIR=C:\MOMO200\
