In the present work we discuss the main features of new algorithms to
do individually-selecting MR-CI calculations. Employing a new program
package we are able to perform calculations including more than two mi
llion selected configuration state functions (CSFs) as a matter of rou
tine. A test calculation on the C-6 molecule including about 2.3 mill.
selected CSFs takes about 54 minutes on a PentiumPro for one iteratio
n within the Davidson procedure. This enables one to study more compli
cated and larger systems with a higher accuracy than before. (C) 1997
