To use these orbitals for future calculations, one has to replace the current MOs by the natural orbitals. To do so, just run: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C qp_run save_natorb file.ezfio .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SH HANDS ON .sp \fBIMPORTANT:\fP .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 As the MOs are changed, for the sake of coherence of future calculations, the save_natorb program \fIautomatically removes the current wave function\fP stored in the \fI\%EZFIO\fP database and replaces it by a single Slater determinant corresponding to a HF occupation of the new spin orbitals. Also, all the keywords to read the one\- and two\-electron integrals on the MO basis are set to \fBNone\fP in order to be sure to avoid reading integrals incompatible with the current set of MOs\&. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp \fBSEE ALSO:\fP .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 The documentation of the \fBsave_natorb()\fP program. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SH AUTHOR A.
