October 2nd, 2009.

I am pleased to announce the release of the program RESP ESP charge Derive version III.3 (or R.E.D. III.3) and its related tools (Ante_R.E.D.-1.3 and X R.E.D. III.3) available @ http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/.

New features available:
- Bug corrections in R.E.D. III.2,
- Portability on Windows platforms through the Cygwin environment making the R.E.D. tools fully functional on UNIX, MacIntosh and Windows operating systems (thanks to the contribution of T. Patko - California State University, Long Beach, CA, USA),
- Interface of Gaussian 2009 is implemented (as for g03, g98 & g94),
- Improvement of GAMESS-US & PC-GAMESS interface & new interface for WinGAMESS,
- Implementation of a new Re_Fit mode allowing charge re-fitting and force field library re-building from a previous R.E.D. run,
- Development of the Mini-Howto and creation of a History file summarizing the features implemented in the R.E.D. tools,
- Creation of a benchmark of charge values for models with an automatic checking procedure & connection with R.E.DD.B.
- New manuals are available in the PDF file format.

A person who is already registered as a R.E.D.-III tools user does not need to register again:
She/he can use her/his R.E.D.-III tools login/passwd obtained previously to download the R.E.D.-III.3 tools.

Best regards,
