rt-TDDFT and OCCUP

Dear all,

I'm having the same problem (I'm using NWChem 6.3), that is: after a dft calculation I would like to change the occupation of some molecular orbitals and to start a real-time tddft run from the new density matrix "prepared" by changing the occupations.

Is this problem solved in the latest version of NWChem?

I'm copying below my input file.

Thanks for helping,
Silvio Pipolo
