Calculate Properties Only from a Previously Converged Set of Existing Files

Hello:

I have a converged set of files generated from an input file for a large molecule. Everything worked and the files are saved.

But, now I want to calculate properties of the converged files, i.e. data base, movecs, ..., etc.

How to do this?

I  tried various ways, but nwchem seems to want to re-calculate the dft part.  But, I just did that.

For example,

property
mulliken
end

task dft property

seems to want to re-calculate the dft part. Using "task property" only doesn't work because an error is thrown indicating the lack of a "theory" part.

What I would like (And I want it now mommy.) would be to run an input file for calculating properties ONLY, with very few lines, wihch reads all the data from files created from a previous run.

I don't seem to be able to get the right input for this.

Thanks so much for your help with this,

Kind regards,

Angelo
